A Christmas Story 40th anniversary by Fathom Events

It’s the final days before Christmas in early 1940s Cleveland, and 9-year-old Ralphie wants one thing from Santa more than anything else: a Red Ryder Carbine Action Air Rifle. As he trudges through the snow to school, faces the neighborhood bully, and visits a malevolent department store Santa Claus, Ralphie connives, conspires, and campaigns for the most fabulous Christmas present ever in this heartwarming, hysterical, and sweetly nostalgic holiday film. Based on stories by Jean Sheppard.

Starring Peter Billingsley ( Ralphie), Darren McGavin (The Old Man-dad), Melinda Dillon (Mother Parker), Scott Schwartz (Flick), and Zack Ward ( Scut Farkus-bully).
