Fame is a classic musical drama released in 1980. It follows the lives of a group of students at the prestigious New York City High School for the Performing Arts. The film follows the students as they struggle to balance their studies with their passion for performing.
The movie opens with a group of students auditioning for the school. We meet Coco Hernandez (Irene Cara), a talented singer from Spanish Harlem; Leroy Johnson (Gene Anthony Ray), a street dancer from the Bronx; and Montgomery MacNeil (Barry Miller), a shy, introverted actor from Brooklyn. We also meet the other students, including a talented violinist (Paul McCrane), a classical dancer (Laura Dean), and a saxophonist (Lee Curreri).

The film culminates in a spectacular performance at the school’s graduation ceremony. The students’ hard work pays off and they are rewarded with a standing ovation from the audience.
