In the 1987 classic, Neal Page is an advertising executive who just wants to get home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his family. When his flight is rerouted to a city in Kansas because of a freak snowstorm, he's forced to pair up with loudmouth salesman Del Griffith, who leads Neal on a wild trip to reach their intended destination.

Reservations for the event begin at 5:30 p.m. Dinner can be enjoyed outside or inside the Italian restaurant connected to the Penn’s View Hotel.

The evening's three-course dinner is $35 per person and includes a choice of appetizer, entrée and dessert. Some of the options to start are bruschetta, Caesar salad and burrata. For the main course, there's a list of pasta dishes, as well as chicken, steak, salmon and veal options. A choice of tiramisu, ricotta cake or Franklin Fountain ice cream will end the meal.

Once the screening begins, complimentary popcorn and movie snacks will be served.
