Summary

He’s a defiant rebel from the wrong side of Baltimore’s tracks. She’s a privileged dancer from an elite performing-arts school. Their worlds couldn’t be more different, but when their fates collide, the sparks between them fly, igniting an exhilarating hip-hop-fueled fairy tale about making your one shot at an improbable dream come true. Featuring an exciting cast of multitalented young newcomers, STEP UP is a gritty story of transcendence driven by music and dance.Tyler Gage (CHANNING TATUM) has grown up all his life on the rough streets of the city, and he knows he’s unlikely to ever make it out of there. But after a brush with the law lands Tyler with a community-service gig at the city’s Maryland School of the Arts, everything changes. That’s when he meets Nora (JENNA DEWAN), the school’s prima ballerina, an alluring diva who is desperately searching for someone to replace her injured partner before the school’s all-important Senior Showcase. Spying Tyler’s moves, Nora can’t help but notice he’s got a raw but natural gift. She decides to take a chance on Tyler, but as they begin to train, the tension between them, and their polar-opposite backgrounds, skyrockets. The only thing standing between Tyler and the void are his dreams of making it off the streets -- and the only thing standing in the way of Nora’s obviously brilliant future is the Senior Showcase. Now, with everything on the line, Tyler will have just one performance to prove to Nora, and to himself, that he can step up to a life far larger than he ever imagined.Touchstone Pictures and Summit Entertainment present STEP UP, featuring the directorial debut of acclaimed choreographer Anne Fletcher, who came to the fore with the runaway teen hit “Bring It On.” The film stars newcomers Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, as well as R&B superstar Mario, who appears as an aspiring musician, and Academy Award-nominee and Golden Globe® winner Rachel Griffiths. Also featured in the cast is rap legend “Heavy D,” as well as Damaine Radcliff, Drew Sidora and De’Shawn Washington.
