To attend, you need a car with an FM radio or a handheld radio you bring yourself. We will space out cars to make sure folks can always maintain 6 feet of distance. We ask that folks stay in their cars unless they are picking up concessions or using the restroom. Whenever you are out of your car, you are required to wear a mask.
IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, PLEASE BRING A SMALL OR REGULAR SIZED CAR (sedan sized or smaller). We want to make sure EVERYONE gets a great space. SUVS, TRUCKS, CARS WITH HIGH ROOFS/RACKS/ITEMS ON ROOF often have to be parked further away from the screen to avoid sightline issues.
If bring a larger car, arrive as near to when we open our gates as possible to get the best possible space.
Our partnership with Electric Dusk Drive In https://www.electricduskdrivein.com/) continues as we close out our season with our DECEMBER DELIGHTS series of classic holiday movies.
We start our final weekend of 2020 with one of the greatest holiday movies of all time. . .and the bloodiest: DIE HARD.
Although the response “But DIE HARD is a Christmas movie!” has become a kind of punchline. . .it’s also a veritable truth.
New York Cop John McClane flies to Los Angeles on Christmas Eve to try and repair his relationship with his estranged wife Holly who took a job on the West Coast despite his protestations.
But when Holly’s office Christmas party at the top of the Nakatomi skyscraper gets hijacked by high-tech thieves lead by Hans Gruber (a career high Alan Rickman), McClane has to suddenly fly into action to save his wife and everyone else taken hostage.
DIE HARD still remains THE PLATINUM STANDARD action movie. Each new sequence puts you further on the edge of your seat as entire floors of a building explode, helicopters explode, tanks explode. . .basically everything explodes in this movie.
But part of it’s real secret sauce is that you are hooked by every character and every actor is giving this movie their all. By the time the Christmas music rolls over the final credits, you really do feel you’ve learned something important: Christmas and Action movies do go together!
Best always,
