Movies Under the Stars

Pier I at 70th Street

This week’s movie: Wall Street (1980s), starring Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen, Darryl Hannah; Directed by Oliver Stone (1987). In a shockingly relevant New York fable for our times, a young and impatient stockbroker, willing to do anything to get to the top, trades on illegal inside information from a ruthless and greedy corporate raider who takes the newcomer under his wing.

Riverside Park South is located on the Hudson River between 59th and 72nd Streets. This event is FREE. Weather Permitting. Call 212-408-0219 for information.
