Appearances in Media
The stadium has been featured in a number of films, most recently in the 2010 crime film The Town. In the film's climax, the two central characters enter Fenway Park's cash room disguised as Boston police officers to steal $3 million.
Other notable movies filmed at Fenway Park include 1989's Field of Dreams, that featured Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones watching a Red Sox game, and 2005's Fever Pitch. The ending of Fever Pitch had to be rewritten during the 2004 production when the Red Sox went on to win their first World Series title in 86 years.
In March 2012 PBS aired a National Geographic television documentary Inside Fenway Park: An Icon at 100, narrated by Matt Damon, celebrating the park's centennial.
