This Autumn, the Red and White Fleet and The Roxie will partner to turn the hybrid electric vessel Enhydra into a sailing cinema for a limited run of nighttime film cruises on the Bay.
According to spokesmen, the 2-hour twilight cruise will feature films chosen by The Roxie.
The “Floating Features,” cruise departs from Pier 43 1/2.
The events are co-Presented by Film SF
Red and White staff note that the electric vessel “means no engine noise and a totally unique al fresco” movie experience.
This year’s titles include “The Rock,” which may have special resonance for admirers of “Chance of Alcatraz.”
The plot: FBI chemical warfare expert Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) is sent on an urgent mission with a former British spy, John Patrick Mason (Sean Connery), to stop Gen. Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris) from launching chemical weapons on Alcatraz Island into San Francisco.
