In celebration of its 35th anniversary, “Steel Magnolias” is returning to theaters nationwide on May 5 and 8, just in time for Mother’s Day.
Each screening will include a special introduction by acclaimed film critic Leonard Maltin, who will spotlight the heartfelt performances and gripping drama that has made Steel Magnolias a cherished favorite for more than three decades.
Tickets for the special screenings are available now at Fandango or at participating theater box offices.
“Steel Magnolias” is a hilarious and heartwarming story of life, love, and loss set in a small Louisiana parish. At the center of the group is Shelby, newly married and joyfully pregnant, even though her diabetes could make childbirth life-threatening. Terrified at the possibility of losing her only daughter, M’Lynn looks to her four closest friends for strength and laughter as she battles her deepest fear of death to join Shelby in celebrating the miracle of new life.
