Cinema at The Bay: Top Gun (1986) (40th Anniversary)

Enjoy this 40th anniversary iconic action classic in recognition of Veterans Day — FREE and under the stars at The Bay! In recognition of Veterans Day, Operation Warrior Resolution (OWR) will introduce the 1986 original Top Gun film. Come early to meet and play yard games with OWR members before the movie. Veterans will also enjoy a special discount on food and beverages at The Nest Café. For an extra way to take part, register for the 6:00pm yoga practice led by OWR and U.S. Navy Veteran Dan Bue before settling in for the movie under the stars. [PG] At the Navy’s elite Top Gun fighter school, hotshot pilot Maverick (Tom Cruise) pushes limits with his skill, swagger and reckless streak — putting him at odds with rival pilot Iceman. Bring your blankets, chairs, and friends to add even more comfort and fun. Come hungry and thirsty! The Nest Café will be serving delicious food, fresh popcorn and refreshing drinks. Cinema at The Bay is presented by The Desenberg Foundation. Know Before You Go • Free Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis in front of the Van Wezel (777 N.
