Spike Lee / Black History Month
4K Restoration
On the hottest day of summer in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, racial tensions reach a boiling point in Spike Lee’s seminal masterpiece. Following Mookie (played by Lee himself) as he navigates his job at Sal’s Pizzeria and the simmering unrest in the neighborhood, this electrifying tale of community, identity, and systemic violence is as urgent today as it was in 1989. Featuring Rosie Perez’s unforgettable dance to Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power” and a powerful narrative indictment of societal divisions, this Academy Award®-nominated classic remains a cornerstone of modern American cinema.
