The world-renowned 1986 animated feature film The Transformers: the Movie is returning to U.S. movie theaters to celebrate its 35th anniversary! Audiences will be treated to brand-new exclusive content during the film when Fathom Events brings it back to theaters for two days only, Sunday, September 26th and Tuesday, September 28th. Tickets will be available for purchase later next month through their web site, FathomEvents.com, as well as participating cinemas' box offices.
“We look forward to bringing families and fans back to the theaters for this milestone Transformers anniversary,” said Adam Biehl SVP & GM, Action Brands at Hasbro, Inc. “With thanks to our Fathom partners, Autobots and Decepticons of all ages will be treated to a one-of-a-kind movie experience celebrating this beloved animated film.”
For millennia, the heroic Autobots, led by Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen), have been at war with the evil Decepticons, led by Megatron (Frank Welker). As the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons rages on Earth, an even greater threat looms. Unicron (Orson Welles, Citizen Kane), a colossal converting planet who consumes everything in his path, is heading for Cybertron to devour the Transformers homeworld and wipe the Autobots and Decepticons from existence. The only hope is the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. With new enemies hunting them down and dangers lurking in every corner of the galaxy, the Autobots take on a perilous mission to save their planet that will alter their destiny forever.
The Transformers The Movie's all-star cast includes Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club), Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek), Eric Idle (the Monty Python films), and Robert Stack (The Untouchables).
Since 1984, the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons has come to life in movies, television, comic books, toys, video games, and more. The 35th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie celebrates the first feature film in what would become a global blockbuster franchise with millions of fans around the world.
The next movie in the Transformers franchise, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is set to be released in 2022.
