54

54 or Studio 54 is a 1998 film starring Salma Hayek, Ryan Phillippe and Neve Campbell. It also stars Mike Myers as Steve Rubell, the cofounder of Studio 54, a New York City disco club famous in the late 1970s and the setting for the film. The film was directed by Mark Christopher who also wrote the screenplay. The original music score was composed by Marco Beltrami. Music supervisors were Susan Jacobs and Coati Mundi.

Plot summary

The film centers around Shane O'Shea (Ryan Phillippe), a young man from Jersey City, New Jersey who is handsome enough to become a bartender at Studio 54. While working at the club, Shane befriends Anita Randazzo (Salma Hayek), an aspiring singer, and her husband Greg (Breckin Meyer). As Shane gets sucked into the hard-partying scene at Studio 54, and as his life spirals downward, so does Studio 54. The DVD release features some additional and alternate scenes that were not included in the theatrical release. The director's cut runs one hour and 45 minutes, 12 minutes of which are not in the studio's DVD release.
