DETROIT, July 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In this issue
of American Road®, we return to the drive-ins—and
we do so with a bent that remembers Panic in Year Zero!
(1962), Logan's Run (1976), and other sci-fi classics
that once set those alfresco screens ablaze. Our show begins with
"A Night at the Drive-In 3," a feature compendium that collects the
stories behind thirty-two drive-ins nationwide—from longtimers such
as the Wellfleet Drive-In of Massachusetts and the Parma Motor-Vu in
Idaho to newcomers that include
Alabama's Sand Mountain Twin and
the Showboat of Hockley,
Texas.
In "Star Trek Original Movie Locations," we boldly go
where Captain Kirk and crew went while shooting the first seven
Star Trek films (1979–1994). Did you know that Minerva Hot
Springs in Yellowstone National
Park stood in for the steamy planet Vulcan? It made for riveting cinema. So did
all ten of the movies showcased in "American Road's Sci-Fi
Road Films," a best-of list featuring futuristic, on-the-go films
that brought us ice robots, gyro captains, and telepathic dogs. Our
departments chart a similar course, visiting Meteor Crater,
Arizona, where Starman
(1984) was filmed; recalling Close Encounters of the Third
Kind (1977) at Devils Tower, Wyoming; and returning to Planet of the
Apes (1968) to unearth the sites that drove Charlton Heston bananas.
So bring on those summer nights under twinkling stars at the
drive-in movie along with that beloved hot dog in its intermission
film (a childhood favorite of our Editorial Director), snuggle in
for the double feature, and enjoy the glow from an outdoor
screen.
