More details about Footloose and where you can watch

In Footloose (2011), Ren McCormack’s life changes when he moves from Boston to the conservative town of Bomont to live with his aunt and uncle after his mother’s death. Shocked to discover that rock music and dancing are illegal, Ren struggles to fit in but soon befriends fellow students, including the rebellious Ariel Moore, daughter of the local reverend. The town’s ban was imposed following a fatal crash that killed several teens, and now Ren faces resistance from officials and adults alike. Undeterred, he works with friends to rally the community and legalize dancing, believing that music brings joy and unity. Along the way, Ren and Ariel fall in love, and the youth reclaim their voice in a powerful stand against outdated rules.
