Purple Rain | SummerStarz Free Movies (Transmitter Park)

Friday, August 2nd at 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Free
Let’s celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Prince’s Classic, Purple Rain!
A victim of his own anger, the Kid (Prince) is a Minneapolis musician on the rise with his band, the Revolution, escaping a tumultuous home life through music. While trying to avoid making the same mistakes as his truculent father (Clarence Williams III), the Kid navigates the club scene and a rocky relationship with a captivating singer, Apollonia (Apollonia Kotero). But another musician, Morris (Morris Day), looks to steal the Kid’s spotlight — and his girl.
