After a team of underdog scientists (Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Bill
Murray) lose their cushy positions at a university in New York City,
they decide to set out on their own and become “ghostbusters,” waging a
high-tech battle with supernatural spirits taking up residency in New
York City. In their paranormal investigations, they stumble upon a
gateway to another dimension – a doorway that will release evil upon the
city – and the ghostbusters must now save the Big Apple from complete
destruction. Released in 1984, the original “Ghostbusters” was directed
and produced by Ivan Reitman, written by Aykroyd and Ramis, and starred
Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis
and Ernie Hudson. Following these special screenings, the classic
“Ghostbusters” will go back into the vault until the release of the new
film.

“Before the new ‘Ghostbusters’ hits theaters, there’s no better way to
get excited than by seeing the original back in its home on the big
screen,” Fathom Events Vice President of Studio Relations Tom Lucas
said. “Fathom Events is bringing this classic re-release to audiences
all across the country, and we are thrilled for fans new and old to see
it in its original glory with special added content.”
