Rev up your flux capacitors! We’re going Back to the Future! ⚡🚗

Tampa Theatre’s On The Road summer series concludes with its final FREE outdoor screening at Bonnet Springs Park in Lakeland. We're saying goodbye to summer with the last installment of Choose Your Own Adventure, a film series celebrating some of the most iconic adventure films of the 1980s.

Join us on Friday, September 25, at the Allen & Company Family Lawn from 7 - 10PM for a free viewing of Back to the Future. Pre-film events, led by DJ Adam, begin at 7PM and include a DeLorean car show starring the restored, movie-quality Hill Valley Time Machine, and a Van de Graaff machine demonstration that will make your hair stand on end (weather permitting).

Win BSP swag by showing up in your best Marty McFly and Doc Brown costumes, enjoy the late, great hits of the 80's, and munch on special snacks and beverages at the Lawn's concessions!

Admission is FREE and open to the public, and guests are encouraged to bring picnic baskets, blankets and lawn chairs. Please note that this event is weather permitting.

Movie Synopsis: Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox in the role that would catapult him to superstardom) is a teenager with a pretty normal life in 1985 in suburban California. Normal, that is, except that his neighbor is eccentric outcast scientist Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd), and Doc Brown has just invented a (mostly) functioning time machine. Marty agrees to help him with his experiment, but an untimely interruption by Libyan terrorists traps him in 1955 and shoots him straight into the burgeoning relationship of his own young parents. If he messes things up with his future knowledge, Marty endangers his own existence.
