Watch out, Springville! This Friday, escape the heat and step into the cool comfort of the Rivoli Theater on June 26th, for a sci-fi doubleheader featuring two of the most influential robotic forces in movie history!
7:00 PM MST – The Terminator (1984)
See the film that launched an entire cinematic empire the way it was meant to be seen. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as the terrifyingly unstoppable cybernetic killer hunting down Sarah Connor in a race against time. It’s 80s tech-noir at its absolute finest!
9:00 PM MST – The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
Stay for a true cinematic masterpiece of the golden age. This isn’t a cheesy B-movie—it's a gripping, atmospheric thriller about peace, humanity's future, and an unforgettably massive silver robot that can disintegrate weapons with a single glance.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Terminator: Arnold Schwarzenegger famously tried to convince James Cameron to let him say "I will be back" instead, arguing that a cyborg wouldn't use contractions. Cameron refused, telling Arnold to just trust him, and a legendary movie catchphrase was born!
The Day the Earth Stood Still: The giant robot Gort was actually played by Lock Martin, the 7-foot-7-inch doorman from the nearby Grauman's Chinese Theatre! Because the heavy foam rubber suit was so difficult to move in, they had to use a lightweight dummy for shots where he carried actors.
