Expecting the usual tedium that accompanies a summer in the Catskills with her family, 17-year-old Frances 'Baby' Houseman is surprised to find herself stepping into the shoes of a professional hoofer—and unexpectedly falling in love.

Shout! Studios put John Milius's 1984 Cold War survival fantasy on 4K in 2022 with a strong A-Tier transfer. Best Buy got an exclusive Steelbook the same year and collectors who bought the standard Shout pressing first felt the usual burn. The old DVD was famously soft, so this is the first time the Colorado mountains and the school-bus invasion footage have looked sharp. The cast runs deep past Swayze and Sheen, with Powers Boothe, Lea Thompson, and a brief Harry Dean Stanton appearance most people forget about.
