SYNOPSIS
Everyone deserves a chance to follow their dreams,
but some people only get one shot. Tyler Gage
(CHANNING TATUM) is a rebel from the wrong side
of Baltimore's tracks -- and the only thing that
stands between him and an unfulfilled life are his
dreams of one day making it out of there. Nora
(JENNA DEWAN) is a privileged ballet dancer
attending Baltimore's ultra-elite Maryland School of
the Arts -- and the only thing standing in the way of
her obviously brilliant future is finding a great dance
partner for her senior showcase. When trouble with
the law lands Tyler with a community service gig at
Maryland School of the Arts, he arrives as an angry
outsider, until his skills as a gifted street dancer
draw Nora's attention. Now, as sparks fly between
them, both on and off stage, Tyler realizes he has
just one performance to prove that he can step up
to a life far larger than he ever imagined. Featuring
the directorial debut of leading choreographer Anne
Fletcher, the film also stars R&B superstar Mario,
Drew Sidora as well as rap legend Heavy D,
Damaine Radcliff, De'Shawn Washington and
Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe®
winner Rachel Griffiths.
