Stripes is heading back to theaters in honor of its 40th anniversary. That’s the fact, Jack!
The comedy classic starring Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and John Candy will screen in select theaters on Sunday, August 29 and Thursday, September 2. Per Fathom Events, each screening will be preceded by an exclusive introduction featurette from Murray and director Ivan Reitman.
If you are too young to remember this comedy classic, Stripes is about loser John Winger (Bill Murray) who loses his job, his car, his apartment and his girlfriend — all in one day. Winger decides he has only one option: volunteer for the army. And he talks his friend Russell (Harold Ramis) into enlisting with him.
Where else, they figure, can they help save the world for democracy… and meet girls! John and Russell find basic training a snap: they are arrested twice, have endless run-ins with their drill sergeant (Warren Oates) and get into a bit of a mess at a female mud wrestling match. They even manage to steal a top-secret government vehicle and accidentally wind up behind the iron curtain. Watch the trailer below:
