Join us for the celebration of the 40th Anniversary of American Flyers, the movie that got millions to hop on a bike and keep on pedaling! See Kevin Costner in one of his very first films! American Flyers was written by acclaimed Denver resident Steve Tesich (1942-1996), whose brilliant writing earned him the 1979 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the cycling classic Breaking Away.
Experience more than just the movie! Before the screening, join actor and Bicycle Colorado alum, Scott Christopher, who portrayed a cycling team leader in ‘American Flyers,’ for an exclusive 20-minute pre-show presentation. Discover fascinating behind-the-scenes secrets, challenges, and dramatic moments from the intense month-long filming of the race sequences across Colorado’s breathtaking landscapes. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear firsthand stories from the set!
The Grand Junction showing will be in partnership with Tour of the Moon. Proceeds benefit Bicycle Colorado, Grand Valley Streets Alliance, and Davis Phinney Foundation.
