"The dream is always the same."
You know the image: a young man, wearing a pink button-down and tighty-whities, slides into the foyer while Bob Seger blares. He dances with abandon around his parents' living room, radiating an undeniable charisma.
Who is this kid?
Witness the birth of an icon,
our greatest living entertainer,
the living embodiment of "see you at the movies."

RISKY BUSINESS
At the Main Cinema
Monday, September 28 at 7pm
A knife-sharp satire of youth and sex under capitalism—featuring a 21-year-old Cruise—Paul Brickman's Risky Business (1983) stands apart from the "teen comedies" of its era. Perceptive, tonally adventurous, and scored by Tangerine Dream with a phenomenal soundtrack featuring Seger, Phil Collins, Prince, and Talking Heads, the film playfully pulls at the seams of the American Dream during the Regan era.
This screening will be introduced by Jeremy Marder of the Chicago-film-focused Four Stars podcast and followed by Tom Cruise trivia by John McConville, host of Trivia Mafia's Music & Movies Trivia.
