CAGE/MATCH: A 24-Hour Nicolas Cage Movie Marathon


  • Idaho Film Society 1212 West Bannock Street Boise, ID, 83702 United States (map)

One man. 24 hours. Infinite Faces

Step into the Cage.

This isn’t just a movie marathon—it’s a fully immersive cinematic ride through the chaos, charisma, and cosmic mystery that is Nicolas Cage. The Idaho Film Society’s curation team has hand-picked each film to take you on the ultimate Cage-coaster—a wild journey through passion, madness, brilliance, and everything in between.

Over the course of 24 hours, you’ll experience the full emotional spectrum: high-octane action, surreal dreamscapes, heartfelt drama, and performances that defy logic and expectation. No titles revealed in advance. No guide rails. Just Cage, unfiltered.

Can you survive the ride?
Sleep is optional. Cage is forever.

CAGE/MATCH: MARATHON RULES

THE Breakdown: 
This is a 24-hour marathon, not a hostage situation.  Stay all day, disappear for sleep in the lobby, return stronger. Just know, if you do crash out, you will not be eligible for the Cage/Match main prize.

No schedule. No spoilers.
Titles will not be announced in advance. Trust the curation. If you know, you know.

Only The Good Ones.
Every film has been chosen on purpose. No filler. No irony picks. No apologies.

Breaks are built in.
There will be intermissions for food, coffee, bathroom breaks, and regaining your grip on reality.

Marathon survival perks: 
Attendees who make it past key milestones will be eligible for giveaways, prizes, and eternal bragging rights.
 
Food & Drink available.
We’ll keep you caffeinated throughout the event. You are allowed to bring snacks. Larger meals + Delivery food can be eaten in the lobby between films. Please don’t bring full meals into the theater as a courtesy to your Cage-Mates.

Be kind. Be quiet. Be unhinged responsibly.
Cheering encouraged. Heckling discouraged. Respect your fellow Cage pilgrims. Sleeping in the theater is discouraged… but it happens.

Attempt the full 24 at your own risk.
If you make it to the end, you will be recognized: Limited print one-off “I Survived The Cage/Match” T-Shirt and infinite bragging rights.

We are not Nic Cage and therefore understand you may need a ride home after 24 hours of face melting cinema. Please make arrangements to get home beforehand and stay safe!
