Directed by: Bob Clark

Set in 1940s Indiana, A Christmas Story follows young Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley), whose greatest Christmas wish is a Red Ryder BB gun. Navigating bullies, decoder rings, pink bunny pajamas, and a “triple dog dare,” Ralphie dreams, schemes, and survives the highs and humiliations of the holiday season.
A warm, nostalgic, and hilariously relatable holiday classic
Packed with unforgettable moments: the leg lamp, frozen tongue, and “You’ll shoot your eye out!”
Told with wit and heart, narrated from the adult Ralphie’s perspective
A timeless look at family life, childhood obsession, and seasonal chaos
“Only one thing in the world could’ve dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window…”
