A powerful drama set against the framework of a dance marathon in the early 1930's. Desperate people, young and old, enter the marathon to find a place to sleep and eat while thousands outside starve. While the dancers push themselves to the limit of their physical and emotional endurance, barbarous crowds come to watch, to cheer, to be entertained. In the midst of the Depression... people are the ultimate spectacle.
