Film Night in the Park 2010: “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” | Mission

Submitted by the Event Organizer

High school senior Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) decides to skip school on a spring day by faking an illness to his parents (Lyman Ward and Cindy Pickett), then encourages his girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) and his pessimistic best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck) to spend the day in Chicago as one of their last flings before they head off to different colleges. Ferris persuades Cameron to let them use his father’s restored 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California to travel into the city. The rest of the school and many residents learn of Ferris’s exaggerated illness and offer donations to help “Save Ferris”. However, only two people are not convinced by Ferris’s deception: his sister Jeanie (Jennifer Grey), outraged at Ferris’s ability to defy authority easily, and the school’s Principal, Edward Rooney (Jeffrey Jones), believing Ferris to be truant.
