Marking the directorial debut of F. Gary Gray, the film Friday stars Ice Cube, who after acting in popular films including Boyz 'N the Hood and Higher Learning, segued to comedy. He also co-wrote the film alongside frequent musical collaborator, DJ Pooh. Friday also stars Chris Tucker, Nia Long, Bernie Mac, Tiny 'Zeus' Lister Jr. and John Witherspoon. The film revolves around 16 hours in the lives of unemployed slackers Craig Jones and Smokey, who must pay a drug dealer $200 by 10:00 p.m. that night. The film spawned two sequels: "Next Friday" and "Friday After Next," with a fourth film, "Last Friday," currently in development

Fathom Events, in partnership with New Line Cinema and Warner Bros., celebrates the 20th anniversary of this 1995 cult classic with a special one night theatrical showing of Friday 20th Anniversary: Director's Cut on Monday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m. local time. In addition to bringing this outrageously funny title back to theaters, the event will spotlight Friday Straight Up, a 24-minute featurette that includes behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the cast.

Tickets for Friday 20th Anniversary: Director's Cut can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com, or at participating theater box offices. The event will be presented in nearly 400 select movie theaters throughout the U.S. through Fathom's Digital Broadcast Network.
