Liftoff Entertainment is set to host the third and final installment of its Wheels and Reels Drive-In Theater Experience tonight, May 20, with a screening of “Back to the Future.”

“Back to the Future” was originally supposed to screen on Thursday, May 6, but was postponed due to inclement weather. Previously, Liftoff Entertainment screened “The Goonies” and “Jurassic Park.”

“Back to the Future” will be screened at Top of the Market Banquet Center in Dayton at 8:45 p.m. The parking lot will open at 7:30 p.m.

The 1985 cult classic follows Marty McFly, a teenager who is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a time-traveling DeLorean built by his eccentric scientist friend, Doc.

Top of the Market will run the concession stands during the events. Along with movie essentials like popcorn, candy and drinks, the venue will also serve sandwiches, burgers and wings.

Pricing is per carload and is $30 for a general admission parking space and $40 for a “premium viewing” parking space. Tickets can be purchased by visiting Liftoff Entertainment’s website.

Cars will be staggered throughout the parking lot in order to follow social distancing guidelines. Guests are also encouraged to remain in their vehicles throughout the event, though they are also permitted to enjoy the movie outside of their cars as long as they are sitting directly in front of their vehicles. The sound from the movies will be broadcast through the car radio.

Liftoff Entertainment will be hosting their Wheels and Reels Drive-In Theater Experience on April 29, May 6 and May 13.
