"Superman: The Movie" Screenings in Checotah, OK
The historic Gentry Cinema in Checotah, OK will present multiple screenings of the 1978 blockbuster film, "Superman: The Movie" on Friday, October 23rd through Sunday, October 25th at 2:00PM and 7:00PM.
One of the most well-regarded superhero films of all time, Superman was a box-office smash when it rocketed to Earth in 1978. The last son of the dead planet Krypton, Kal-El (Christopher Reeve) is found as a baby by Jonathan (Glenn Ford) and Martha Kent (Phyllis Thaxter) when his spaceship crashes just outside of Smallville, USA. Given the name "Clark" by his adopted parents, the boy grows up strong in the American heartland, developing amazing powers under the light of the yellow sun. One day, Clark finds a glowing crystal, and with it finds out about his alien heritage, the knowledge imparted to him by his birth father, Jor-El (Marlon Brando). The boy becomes a man, and moves to Metropolis to work for the Daily Planet newspaper, finding love in Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) and danger in the form of criminal genius Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman).
Tickets are $6.00 for 2:00PM screenings and $7.00 for 7:00PM screenings and can purchased at the theater box office or on-line at TheGentryCinema.com. Attendees are encouraged to wear their favorite Superhero costumes or T-shirts!
