Footloose: Heroic Reverend Moore (John Lithgow) battles against overwhelming odds to prevent the destruction of his idyllic home town’s way of life by forces of atheism and depravity. These are embodied in the terrifying character of Ren (Kevin Bacon), a slick, big city hustler on the run from dark events in his past, and who will stop at nothing, including seducing the Reverend’s daughter, to force his degenerate lifestyle choices on an innocent populace.
A seminal work decrying the subversion of small-town America by the tentacles of urban liberalism, and often cited as a major contributor to the later founding of the Tea Party Movement.
