“Stripes 40th Anniversary”
August 29, 2021 @ 7:30 pm - September 2, 2021 @ 7:30 pm MST
“Stripes 40th Anniversary,” with an exclusive introduction from Ivan Reitman & Bill Murray, is marching into select movie theaters nationwide on Sun., Aug. 29 and Thurs., Sept. 2.
When John Winger (Murray) loses his job, his car, his apartment and his girlfriend — all in one day — he decides he has only one option: volunteer for the army. And he talks his friend Russell (Harold Ramis) into enlisting with him. Where else, they figure, can they help save the world for democracy… and meet girls! John and Russell find basic training a snap: they are arrested twice, have endless run-ins with their drill sergeant (Warren Oates) and get into a bit of a mess at a female mud wrestling match. They even manage to steal a top-secret government vehicle and accidentally wind up behind the iron curtain. Bill Murray has joined the Army, and the Army will never be the same.
See the classic film stripes up on the big screen with a special new featurette before the film! Join Bill Murray and Ivan Reitman as they sit down together 40-years later and give fans an inside look at their time filming STRIPES.

Where else, besides the army, can military misfits John and Russell help save the world for democracy… and meet girls? Together, they find basic training a snap: they are arrested twice, have endless run-ins with drill sergeant Hulka (Warren Oates), and get into a bit of a mess at a female mud wrestling match. They even manage to steal a top-secret government vehicle and accidentally wind up behind the iron curtain. Bill Murray has joined the army, and the army will never be the same.
“The on-screen antics and comedic genius of Murray and Ramis are turned on full force in this fan-favorite comedy-adventure classic,” said Tom Lucas, Fathom Events Vice President of Studio Relations. “Full of expertly crafted irreverent wit, sardonic humor, and retro-scripted ad-lib, audiences are in for a night of laughs while revisiting one of the ‘80s most hilarious films.”
