TOP SECRET! (1984) — Val Kilmer stars in this hilarious cult-classic spy spoof

May 9 : 7:00 pm 8:45 pm

“[This] rock ‘n’ roll spy spoof may be the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team’s [Airplane!, The Naked Gun] most consistent work… Val Kilmer is ridiculously charismatic!” – The AV Club

In this outrageous comedy from the guys who brought you Airplane!, Val Kilmer (in his feature film debut) is Nick Rivers, America’s hottest rock idol-turned-super-spy. Nick must race against time to save the world from destruction from the ultimate super weapon—the Polaris Mine. Though something of a flop in its day, TOP SECRET! has rightfully earned cult classic status due to its ingenious sight gags, wordplay and ultra-charismatic lead performance by Kilmer. Packed with a joke a second, as well as action, romance, and random musical interludes, TOP SECRET! manages to do for war epics and Elvis flicks what Airplane! did for disaster movies and The Naked Gun did for police procedurals.
