Danny DeVito's 1992 labor drama "Hoffa" returns to 70mm on Saturday, Sept. 26, at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. It is the first time the film has screened in the format in more than 30 years.

DeVito directed and starred in the film alongside Jack Nicholson, who played Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa. David Mamet wrote the screenplay. The sold-out screening is part of Beyond Fest 2026, which opened Sept. 23 and runs through Tuesday, Oct. 6, at theaters across Los Angeles.

DeVito told the Los Angeles Times he has never seen the film in 70mm. He will watch it with the audience Saturday morning before a Q&A with cinematographer Stephen Burum, composer David Newman, prop master Emily Ferry and costume designer Deborah Lynn Scott.

Only a small number of 70mm prints were struck when the film was originally released, according to the Times. The screening uses one of those surviving prints.

DeVito, who first met Nicholson on the set of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," described how his co-star prepared for the role. Nicholson called immediately after reading the script, DeVito said, and the two studied archival footage of Hoffa together. Makeup designer Ve Neill built Nicholson a prosthetic nose so he could physically resemble the labor leader.

Asked what the film says to audiences in 2026, DeVito pointed to its opening scene, where Hoffa recruits a man by asking who is looking out for him. "He was looking out for people," DeVito said. "I think you're going to come away from seeing the movie and relating it to what is going on in the world at the moment."

Beyond Fest is also screening "Drag," a comedic thriller produced by DeVito and his children Jake and Lucy DeVito, with Lucy co-starring. The festival will present a rare theatrical showing of "Hot Dogs for Gauguin," filmmaker Martin Brest's 1972 student short featuring a young DeVito. That screening marks the first time the short has been shown theatrically in more than 50 years, using a newly remastered version supervised by Brest.

The "Hoffa" screening begins at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Tickets are sold out.
