Ten Sundays, summer through fall, featuring well-loved classics, beneath the stars and above the streets of Iowa City. You never know what we’ll add to each screening to butter up your Rooftop experience. Join us for these very fun, special shows, and buy tickets early as seating is limited, and Rooftop shows do sell out!

Doors open with seating and pre-show 30 minutes before the posted start time. Screening at dusk.


"It is pure Verhoeven -- broad, brash and ultraviolent, and all up there on the screen." — Ian Nathan, Empire Magazine

"A spectacularly gung-ho sci-fi epic that delivers two hours of good, nasty fun." — Todd McCarthy, Variety

"A kick-ass paramilitary teenybop creature-feature spectacular." — Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly


In the distant future, war breaks out between the United Citizen Federation and an alien species of arachnids. Teenage Johnny Rico joins up with an infantry unit to take on the "Bugs." A one-of-a-kind blend of action, satire, and science fiction—the definition of a cult classic.

In the case of inclement weather, the screening will occur indoors.
