Quick Answer

What is Club Life about?

Club Life is a 1986 American action-drama film directed by Norman Thaddeus Vane about a small-town man who becomes a bouncer in a Hollywood disco, only to find himself entangled with gangsters and drug dealers.

Programmer's Pick

Come for the neon lights and nightclub drama, stay for Tony Curtis and a gauntlet of 1980s vices. Club Life blends disco-era sleaze, martial arts, and a parade of underworld archetypes into a sleazily entertaining LA late show.

Overview

A young man with big dreams leaves his small town behind and heads to Hollywood, hoping to carve out a new life for himself. He lands a job as a bouncer at a local disco club, but quickly learns that the glitzy nightlife masks a far more dangerous underworld. Surrounded by drugs, gangsters, and escalating violence, he is forced to navigate a scene where survival means much more than breaking up the occasional bar fight. As relationships at the club become more tangled and the stakes escalate after tragic events, he discovers just how unforgiving the city—and its club life—can be.
