Ten Sundays, summer through fall, featuring well-loved classics, beneath the stars and above the streets of Iowa City. You never know what we’ll add to each screening to butter up your Rooftop experience. Join us for these very fun, special shows, and buy tickets early as seating is limited, and Rooftop shows do sell out!

Doors open with seating and pre-show 30 minutes before the posted start time. Screening at dusk.

"Taps into viewers' paranoia over a decrepit, vulnerable infrastructure and then provides bitter laughs and a harrowing catharsis."—Michael Sragow, The New Yorker

"The kind of gritty, relentless thriller that could only come from the '70s."—William Thomas, Empire Magazine

"The best to date of the new multiple-jeopardy capers, fresh, lively and suspenseful."—Charles Champlin, Los Angeles Times

Somewhere underground, in New York's subway system, just outside the Pelham Station, a gang of armed men hijack a train, threatening to kill one hostage per minute unless their demands are met.

In the case of inclement weather, the screening will occur indoors.
