A nostalgic look back at the 1950s, as lived by high school "seniors" Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta (30 and 28 at the time of filming). His "bad boy" image clashes with her "wholesome" one, leading to complications for their summer romance. Lurking just underneath all of the rosy musical numbers is a healthy dose of sexual innuendo, including one girl who is ostracized after she thinks she is pregnant. It's all forgotten by the end though, as Newton-John and Travolta go flying into the sky in his souped-up car after graduation.
