40th Anniversary One-Night-Only Event!
On June 11, 1986, Paramount Pictures released the ultimate ode to youthful rebellion and the fine art of playing hooky, Ferris Buller’s Day Off.
“The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.”
Scripted in a furious six days by director John Hughes and powered by Matthew Broderick’s effortlessly charming performance, the film follows Ferris as he turns one ordinary school day into an unforgettable adventure across Chicago, complete with a stolen Ferrari, an iconic parade performance, and frantic rush to avoid being caught at all measures. With its iconic fourth wall breaks, endlessly quotable dialogue, and a supporting cast that includes Alan Ruck, Mia Sara and Jennifer Grey (as Ferris’ put-upon little sister Jeanie), the film has only grown more beloved with time.
Enzian invites you to a timeless celebration of teenage mischief with this special one-night-only event, including a specially curated pre-show. Tickets are going to move pretty fast, if you don’t stop and grab ‘em, you could miss it.

“This is John Hughes' best teen film, and it's a call to arms to everyone in the world who doesn't want to follow society's lame-ass rules at the expense of living a cool life.”
– Brad Laidman, FILM THREAT
“A free-spirited romp, a devil-may-care respite from grueling dailiness.”
– THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
“The most compelling of all John Hughes movies. It's the one that cuts through the typical adolescent sentimentality in his popular Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club to reveal a truth about American cultural values.”
– Armond White, NATIONAL REVIEW
“Drenched in Eighties-style teen spirit.”
– Marjorie Baumgarten, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
