FREE COMMUNITY SCREENING AT BONNET SPRINGS PARK

Directed by Steven Spielberg, but based on a story by George Lucas and a screenplay written by Lawrence Kasdan, the (later) co-writer of The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark isn’t just a love letter to the two-fisted, block-jawed serial adventure heroes that Lucas and Spielberg loved watching as kids. It practically gets down on one knee and proposes marriage. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is witty, sly, a brilliant professor and dashing explorer with just the right touch of vulnerability for a romantic lead; Marion (Karen Allen) is a damsel in distress with steely nerves, a valid grudge and a hard right hook; and the movie pulls them around the (literal) map in individual episodes that all feed into one big story. It’s unabashedly a movie’s movie, and it’s the reason theatre seats have edges.

Join Tampa Theatre on the Allen & Company Family Lawn at Bonnet Springs Park for this very special free On the Road film screening. Starting at 8pm, guests can enjoy movie concessions, an Indiana Jones costume contest (come dressed up!), music with DJ Adam from Graingertainment, Amazing Animals will be popping up with a ball python, a mummy-wrapping contest, an idol-swapping contest, and more with the film starting at sunset.

Admission is FREE and open to the public, and guests are encouraged to bring picnic baskets, blankets and lawn chairs. Ticket not required for this event.
