Nighthawks, a great movie that features the Roosevelt Island Tram, will be showing Friday evening, April 10 at the Greats Of Craft Warehouse outdoor rooftop patio in nearby Long Island City (10-15 43rd Ave) . The Long Island City Partnership reports:

Box Set Cinema’s 45th Anniversary 16mm screening of action cult classic NIGHTHAWKS starring Sylvester Stallone, Billy Dee Williams & Rutger Hauer. Shot on location in Manhattan, the film doubles as a time capsule of NYC in 1980 — and one that will be incredible to watch with the skyline all around you on the Greats Of Craft LIC Warehouse rooftop.

Nighthawks is known on Roosevelt Island for a hostage scene taking place on the Roosevelt Island Tram.

According to Eventbrite:

Fresh from mounting a devastating bomb attack in London, an international terrorist arrives in New York and remains intent upon wreaking further havoc. His preparation is clinical and thorough, but he overlooks one thing – the grit and steely determination of one New York cop.

The screening will take place at the rooftop bar of Greats of Craft LIC Warehouse, featuring a beautiful view of the city and the Queensboro bridge! Join us early to get the best seats in the house, grab dinner and drinks, and watch a curated clip show before the feature.
