Friday, August 24th, Bozeman’s popular family-friendly outdoor film event, Story Under the Stars returns to the lush lawn of Story Mansion Park (corner of South Wilson and College Avenue) with a screening of Superman (1978). Kicking off the 40th season of the Bozeman Film Society (1978-2018), everyone (including Fido!) is invited to arrive in their superhero costumes and join us for our annual outdoor film on a starry August night. Featuring an all-star cast, director Richard Donner’s Superman is regarded as the most influential superhero origin story to grace the silver screen. As young Kal-El flees his doomed planet of Krypton, his ship crashes in an open field on Earth. Discovered by a farmer and his wife, the couple adopts and raises him as their own son, Clark.  As he ages, Clark discovers that he has powers that ultimately send him on his destiny to become the Man of Steel. Set to an epic John Williams score, Superman stars Marlon Brandon, Gene Hackman, Ned Beatty, Glenn Ford, Terence Stamp, Margot Kidder, and, of course, Christopher Reeve in his iconic role as Superman.  The fun begins at 7:00 pm and includes a Kryptonite scavenger hunt, Superhero costume parade for people and pets, Story Mansion tours, food, popcorn and ice cream trucks. The evening also features a special Meet & Greet with Bozeman’s own Super Men and Super Women in Uniform from our Police and Fire departments showcasing a patrol car and fire engine! Low-back chairs, blankets and flashlights are encouraged — and pooches on leashes, please. Rated PG, the film begins at dusk and runs 142 minutes.
