...Written by Peter Barsocchini and directed by Kenny Ortega - the team behind the first two films - HSM3 takes us back to Albuquerque's East High School, where jock-muffin Troy (Efron) met and fell in love with brainy exchange student Gabriella (Hudgens) in the original HSM; they and their pals all took summer jobs at a local resort in HSM2.
