Netflix presents Ferris Bueller's Day Off


This is Ferris's ninth sick day of the year, and he must make it count. Ferris convinces his girlfriend Sloane and best friend Cameron to head off for a day of adventure in Chicago. By the middle of the day, there is a full scale campaign to "Save Ferris" at school and in the neighborhood. In tribute to one of the best quick-shot gags of '80s movies, we will be screening Ferris Bueller's Day Off under the water tower (on Cedar Lane in Northbrook) that was painted with "Save Ferris" for the film.

Yes. Sometimes things can change that are beyond our control, like the weather. We recommend checking the event's web page periodically for new updates.

About the Movie
High-schooler Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) knows everyone -- and every trick to faking an illness. So with the entire school convinced he's at death's door, Bueller grabs his girlfriend (Mia Sara) and best friend (Alan Ruck) and hits the streets of Chicago for a well-deserved day off. Fed-up principal Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) is determined to catch Bueller and put a premature end to his field trip. But it's tough to outfox Ferris.
