The movie, “Big,” will be screened on Saturday, Aug. 15, for free at John Boyd Thacher State park and three other state parks.  

The 1988 movie, with scenes filmed both in New York City and upstate New York, will be shown at 8 p.m. at Thacher.

“New York is a major hub for the film industry, and our free outdoor movie night series is an excellent way to applaud the success of film in the Empire State while screening iconic films in our state’s great parks,” said Empire State Development President Howard Zemsky in a statement.
