The nation’s premier outdoor film festival brings classic films to the big screen for the 17th consecutive year. Thousands of movie fans flock to the park for picnics and an evening of film's biggest stars in Bryant Park. The lawn opens at 5 p.m. and the films start at sunset.
This week's presentation is "Dog Day Afternoon." Al Pacino plays Sonny, who needs money to pay for his boyfriend Sal’s sex-change operation and decides to rob a bank to get it. Things go wrong and he’s soon bogged down in a long, drawn-out hostage situation. Sidney Lumet directed this gritty, darkly humorous drama set in Brooklyn on the hottest day of the year.
