Grease is a 1978 American musical romantic comedy film directed by Randal Kleiser (in his feature directorial debut) from a screenplay by Bronté Woodard and an adaptation by co-producer Allan Carr.

The plot follows a greaser, Danny Zuko (John Travolta), and Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John), an Australian transfer student, through their summer romance and its aftermath. Grease was released in the United States on June 16, 1978, by Paramount Pictures.
