BBC Two - Studio 54

Ian Schrager tells the in-depth story of how the world’s greatest nightclub was created.

Ian Schrager, one of the two people behind the infamous Studio 54, tells the in-depth story of how one of the world’s greatest nightclubs was created.

In 1970s New York, one nightclub defined an era and a generation. For the first time, Ian Schrager, one of the two people behind the infamous Studio 54, tells the in-depth story of how one of the world’s greatest nightclubs was created.

Studio 54 was the epicentre of 70s hedonism - a place that not only redefined the nightclub, but also came to symbolise an entire era. Its co-owners, Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell, two friends from Brooklyn, seemed to come out of nowhere to suddenly preside over a new kind of New York society.

Now, 46 years after the velvet rope was first slung across the club’s hallowed threshold, a feature documentary tells the real story behind one of the greatest clubs of all time.
