About the movie:
We’ll be showing the hilarious 1987 movie, PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES, starring Steve Martin and John Candy.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a 1987 American road trip comedy film[3] written, produced, and directed by John Hughes and starring Steve Martin and John Candy. It tells the story of Neal Page, an uptight marketing executive, and Del Griffith, a well-meaning but annoying salesman, who become travel companions when their flight is diverted, and embark on a 3-day odyssey of misadventures trying to reach Chicago in time for Neal's Thanksgiving Day dinner with his family.
The film was released on November 25, 1987, to critical acclaim, with many praising it for Hughes' deviation from teen comedies, as well as Martin and Candy's performances. It was also a box office success, earning $49.5 million on a $15 million budget. The film has gained a cult following over the years, being a Thanksgiving tradition for many.
Parking Info:
We have a variety of parking to offer our visitors. On the opposite side of the street there is a 45-car parking lot that is free and open to patrons of the brewery. We have a 98 car parking garage with direct access to the beer hall underneath our building that is available to the public for a nominal fee. The elevator and stairs will lead directly up to the building lobby. The address to the garage is 50 Mitchell Dr., and the entrance is located in the back of the building across from the athletic fields. There is a parking lot adjacent to the tennis courts at the intersection of Nicoll Street and Mitchell Drive, which is only a 2-minute walk to the brewery. There is public parking on Nicoll Street and several side streets in the area. We are also accessible off the Yale Shuttle Orange route.
