In 2023, the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum is celebrating a special anniversary. To mark the 80th anniversary of the ship, this year’s summer movie nights will have a ship theme. Starting on June 30th, you can watch Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Crimson Tide, and Top Gun: Maverick atop the historic aircraft carrier’s flight deck. Surrounded by views of the Hudson River and city skyline, the movies screened are just as epic as the location they are shown in. Admission is free and spots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when the flight deck opens at 5:00pm. The movie begins at sunset.
