Presented with Cinema I/O — Film and Discussion — FREE EVENT!

Two lifelong friends. One dangerous night. And a past that refuses to stay buried.

Directed by Elaine May and starring Peter Falk and John Cassavetes, Mikey and Nicky is a gritty, emotionally charged crime drama about friendship, betrayal, loyalty, and desperation. The film follows two old friends whose complicated history comes crashing into the present over the course of one increasingly tense night.

Celebrate the film's 50th anniversary with a special screening presented with Cinema I/O, followed by a discussion exploring the film, its performances, and its enduring place in American cinema.

President's plane is down. Manhattan is a maximum-security prison. And Snake Plissken has one mission.

John Carpenter's Escape from New York celebrates its 45th anniversary with a return to the big screen. Kurt Russell is iconic as Snake Plissken, the eye-patched antihero sent into a dystopian Manhattan to rescue the President before time runs out.

Packed with action, atmosphere, dark humor, and one of the most memorable antiheroes in science-fiction cinema, Escape from New York remains a landmark of '80s genre filmmaking.

Don't miss the chance to experience Snake Plissken's first—and most legendary—mission on the big screen at Ron Robinson Theater.
