“Airplane" Lands On The Big Screen At Newtown Theatre

NEWTOWN, PA – “Airplane” returns to the big screen at the historic Newtown Theatre on Friday, April 10. This event is part of the theatre’s monthly “Movies & More!” series, which involves an hour of fun activities prior to the screening of the
movie.

The fun-filled night will start at 7 p.m. with an hour of activities, including movie trivia, a roving flight attendant handing out in-flight snacks, one free drink and free popcorn, a paper airplane flying contest, photo opportunities with Otto the Autopilot, and custom Newtown Theatre barf bags for everyone. The movie will be shown at 8 p.m.

Tickets are available at TheNewtownTheatre.com for $27 per person or $22 for theatre members. Any remaining tickets will be sold for $37 at the door on the night of the show (if available). All seating is general admission.

Released in 1980, this spoof comedy takes shots at the slew of disaster movies that were released in the 1970s. When the passengers and crew of a jet are incapacitated due to food poisoning, a rogue pilot with a drinking problem must
cooperate with his ex-girlfriend-turned-stewardess to bring the plane to a safe landing.

The film is best known for its fast-paced slapstick comedy, including visual and verbal puns, gags and obscure humor.
