The Princess Bride (Rob Reiner Tribute)

It's as real as the feelings you feel.

My name is Inigo Montoya.
You killed my father.
Prepare to die.

Join us at the Rio Theatre as we pay tribute to the late, great filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner by dimming the lights and firing up the projector for a screening of  The Princess Bride.

Based on Goldman‘s 1973 novel of the same name, Rob Reiner‘s THE PRINCESS BRIDE has taken on a life of its own as one of the most beloved (and infinitely quotable) fairy tales to ever hit the big screen, enchanting audiences of all ages since its release in 1987. THE PRINCESS BRIDE follows the story of a kindly grandfather (Peter Falk) who reads his oft-protesting grandson (Fred Savage) a fairytale about giants, wizards, swordplay, Rodents of Unusual Size, true love, and perfect breasts. (And yes…There’s even some kissing.) Starring Mandy Patinkin, Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, André the Giant, Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest, Peter Cooke, Carol Kane, and more.

“As you watch this enchanting fantasy, feel free to be thrilled or to giggle, as you wish.” (Time Magazine)
