Fathom’s Big Screen Classics honors the 85th anniversary of “Citizen Kane,” the landmark Orson Welles film that revolutionized modern filmmaking and remains widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements in cinema history, when it returns to theatres on July 5 and 8, 2026.

1940. Alone at his fantastic estate known as Xanadu, 70-year-old Charles Foster Kane dies, uttering only the single word Rosebud.

So ends the odyssey of a life … and begins a fabulous tale of the rise to wealth and power–and ultimate fall–of a complex man: A boy abandoned by his parents inherits a fortune, builds a global newspaper empire and aspires to become President of the United States, but he loses everything over an affair with an untalented nightclub singer. This fascinating story unfolds through the eyes of the people important to the tycoon–each showing a different aspect of “Citizen Kane.”

Every Fathom’s Big Screen Classics screening features an exclusive introduction by cinema critic and historian Leonard Maltin, who discusses the landmark film’s timeless appeal and offers special insight.
