Eddie Murphy gives one of his many iconic comedic performances as pampered African prince Akeem, who rebels against an arranged marriage and heads to America to find a new bride. Murphy's regal father (James Earl Jones) agrees to allow the prince 40 days to roam the U.S., sending the prince's faithful retainer Semmi (Arsenio Hall) along to make sure nothing untoward happens. To avoid fortune hunters, Prince Akeem conceals his true identity and gets a job at a fast-food restaurant.

Costumes encouraged, pre-show photo opps, and more fun to be announced!

Prior to the feature, Austin-based filmmaker Prince Adablah will present his short film MAMAYA.
