Utopia and Fathom Entertainment will premiere “A Rad Documentary” in more than 700 screens nationwide on March 20 in honor of Rad Day 2025. Celebrating the 80s BMX cult classic film “Rad,” the new documentary revisits production, catches up with the cast, and interrogates the film’s impact on pop culture.

“As a BMX’er, being a stunt rider in RAD was a dream come true but producing ‘A Rad Documentary’ and helping tell the story behind the film has been a full circle moment,” said producer Chris Phoenix. “It’s incredible to be able to share it with the fans whose passion and dedication to the movie have made it a classic for almost 40 years.”

“A Rad Documentary” will premiere as part of a double feature alongside a 4k restoration of “Rad” on March 20 in theaters across the U.S. and Canada. Tickets for Rad Day are now on sale at FathomEntertainment.com.
