Now that we’ve entered the final six weeks of the year, we can’t help but look ahead to the future. No, not 2026. We’re talking about taking a 115-minute trip to the year 2032 when we screen Demolition Man at Avalon Theater on Wednesday, December 17. Tickets to the 7 p.m. screening are on sale NOW.
This futuristic 1993 sci-fi thriller stars Sylvester Stallone as John Spartan, a destructive cop who is wrongfully convicted and sentenced to 70 years in a “Cryo-Penitentiary.” His sentence is cut short when he’s thawed out to help save an otherwise prosperous city of “San Angeles” from a sudden string of crimes and mayhem caused by Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes), an escaped Cryo-Criminal who was Spartan’s former adversary. The two mega stars also get support from Sandra Bullock (mere months before her breakout role in Speed), Denis Leary, Benjamin Bratt, and MTV Rock N’ Jock hall of famer Dan Cortese (in two roles!). Oh, and every restaurant is a Taco Bell in 2032.
Tickets for this special Milwaukee Record screening of an action-packed two-hander are $11. As always, the screening is sponsored by our friends at Lakefront Brewery, Gruber Law Offices, and Skilos: A Family Pet Store. Make plans for the not-so-distant future and join us at Avalon Theater on Wednesday, December 17.
