This summer, join us for Movies with a View Presented by Pluto TV to celebrate our 24th season of Brooklyn’s beloved free outdoor film series on Thursdays, July 11 – August 28 at Pier 1 Harbor View Lawn.

On Thursday, August 22 enjoy The American President (PG-13, 1995, 114 minutes) A widowed U.S. President running for reelection and an environmental lobbyist fall in love. It’s all above-board, but “politics is perception,” and sparks fly anyway. Nominated for Academy Award Best Music and Original Music or Comedy Score. Directed by Rob Reiner, starring Michael Douglas, Annette Benning, Martin Sheen, and Michael J. Fox.

Each evening, the lawn opens at 5:00 PM on a first come, first serve basis, and the movie begins at sunset. All Movies With A View Presented by Pluto TV events are free to attend.

This year’s lineup of free screenings is presented and sponsored by Pluto TV, the leading free streaming television service, who will be giving away exciting movie night essentials during the pre-screening festivities. Pluto TV is honored to team up with Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy’s Movies With a View to bring movie fans a summer of fun!

Guests are encouraged to bring their own picnic blankets, or purchase one on site, and kindly reminded that chairs and dogs are not permitted on the lawn, and glass bottles and outside alcohol are never allowed in the Park. Guests may bring their own food, or enjoy concessions on site with a curated selection of independent food trucks and vendors, offering a variety of local and international options. Rotating each week, vendors include Green Street, Kinky Taco, Nuchas, Makina Cafe, DF Nigeria, Memphis Seoul, Jamrock Jerk, Common Meadows Creamery, yankee doodle dandy’s, Culiraw, and 1-800popcorn. Alcoholic beverages will be available for sale at our Bar by Fornino to those 21+ to be enjoyed on-site.
