The release date is particularly significant since Oct. 11 is the same date the legendary comedy show — which will be launching its 50th season this fall — was first broadcast.

At 11:30 p.m. that night, the film’s official synopsis explains, “a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever.” The Sony movie, officially titled “Saturday Night,” is based on the true story of what happened behind the scene in the 90 minutes leading up to broadcast. “Full of humor, chaos, and the magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, we count down the minutes in real time to the famous words: ‘Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!’
