Steve Glew had a mission: to locate a secret factory that held the key to the most valuable Pez dispensers, thereby pulling his family out of debt and allowing him to quit his job of 25 years.

To reveal much more about The Pez Outlaw, an unbelievable documentary about an unbelievable true story, would ruin the fun, but if you’re just too curious and want to read more on the film, check out what The Hollywood Reporter, RogerEbert.com, and Collider had to say in their reviews. Or you can simply take our managing director Brittany Friesner’s word for it: “If you take a chance on only one film this fall at IU Cinema, I implore you to make it The Pez Outlaw. I don’t think you’ll regret it, but everyone you tell about the film who missed it will regret not experiencing it!”
“The Pez Outlaw is odd: odd characters, odd story, and the oddest of sweet confections. It’s part character study, part corporate-espionage thriller, and part exposition of a very specific flavor of candy-coated nerds.” — Rod Paddock, Austin Chronicle
The Pez Outlaw will be screened at IU Cinema on September 9 at 7 pm and September 11 at 4 pm as part of the New Americas Cinema series.
