'Crossroads,' starring Spears, Zoe Saldaña and Taryn Manning, is returning to theaters to coincide with the release of Spears' memoir 'The Woman in Me'

Crossroads is less than a month away from coming back to theaters!

The 2002 Britney Spears-led coming-of-age road-trip dramedy is returning to the big screen for two nights only, Oct. 23 and 25, to coincide with the release of Spears' memoir The Woman in Me.

PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at the trailer for the global fan event, which features scenes of Spears' character Lucy bonding with her dad (played by Dan Aykroyd), reuniting with her mom (Kim Cattrall) and kicking off an unforgettable cross-country journey with her childhood best friends Kit (Zoe Saldaña) and Mimi (Taryn Manning).

Opening with Lucy singing in her room to "Open Your Heart" by Madonna, the trailer briefly summarizes the plot of Crossroads before ending with Spears singing "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" near the end of the film.

Directed by Tamra Davis and written by Shonda Rhimes, Crossroads follows childhood best friends Lucy, Mimi and Kitt as they road trip across the U.S. on a journey to discover more about themselves and their friendship after drifting apart over the course of eight years.

"With barely a plan, practically no money but plenty of dreams, the girls catch a lift with Mimi's handsome friend Ben (Anson Mount) in his convertible," an official synopsis reads. "Along the way they not only gather experiences that will change their lives, but they also discover how important it is to hold onto their hearts' desires."

Aside from Spears, 41, Saldaña, 45, Manning, 44, Aykroyd, 71, Cattrall, 67, and Mount, 50, the movie also features Jamie Lynn Spears as young Lucy and Justin Long as Henry, one of Lucy's friends with whom she went to prom and had a brief fling.

In a 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Long, 45, recalled how "normal and easygoing" Spears was while filming her big-screen debut, adding that she was "disarmingly down-to-earth."
