Plot

In the vibrant heart of Los Angeles, Sonny Malone, a struggling artist, finds himself reluctantly returning to Airflow Records. His task: to meticulously recreate album covers for promotional purposes, a job that stifles his true artistic spirit. However, his humdrum existence takes a dramatic turn when a young woman, Kira, literally rollerskates into his life. Unbeknownst to Sonny, their encounters are not mere chance; Kira is a celestial muse, awakened by Sonny's artistic frustrations and dispatched to Earth to inspire him to achieve his true potential. Simultaneously, Sonny encounters the aging Danny McGuire, a former big-band musician turned construction tycoon who yearns to reconnect with his musical roots by owning a live music venue. This meeting, like Sonny's collision with Kira, is far from accidental. As it unfolds, Kira was once the spark of inspiration in Danny's past, linking their destinies together in an intricate dance of fate. As Sonny, guided by Kira, works with Danny to create a grand roller-disco rink, a fusion of art and music, they face a significant threat. Kira, knowingly defying the celestial rules for muses, risks everything for Sonny and Danny's dreams. Xanadu is a captivating tale of ambition, inspiration, and the transformative power of art, set against the backdrop of a city pulsating with dreams.
