- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 18 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 pm – Thu, 18 Jun, 2026 at 11:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Plazadrome brings chaos and comedy to the big screen Thursday, June 18 with a brand-new 4K restoration of one of the sharpest political satires of the ’90s: Alexander Payne’s CITIZEN RUTH.

Inspired by a true story, the film follows Ruth Stoops (Laura Dern, in a fearless, hilarious performance), a free-spirited drifter with four kids already in foster care—who suddenly finds herself pregnant again. When her story explodes in the media, Ruth becomes the unlikely center of a tug-of-war between rival pro-life and pro-choice groups, each desperate to claim her as their cause.

What follows is a wildly funny, uncomfortably honest showdown packed with an all-star cast—Burt Reynolds, Swoosie Kurtz, Tippi Hedren, Mary Kay Place, and Kenneth Mars in his final film role—all delivering big personalities and even bigger opinions. Everyone wants to “help”… but Ruth just wants to get high.

Bold, irreverent, and still biting today, CITIZEN RUTH put Alexander Payne on the map and set the stage for beloved films like Election and The Holdovers. Don’t miss the chance to experience this cult classic in stunning 4K—on the big screen, where its outrageous humor hits even harder.
