Jack Smight’s DAMNATION ALLEY
(PG, 1977, 91 min)
“You have seen great adventures. You are about to live one.” Damnation Alley is making an ultra-rare theatrical appearance, and this one’s for the true sci-fi connoisseurs. Starring George Peppard and Jan-Michael Vincent, the film takes you on a wild ride through a post-apocalyptic landscape, where a band of survivors battle mutated creatures and Mother Nature’s wrath in an iconic, armored transport. It’s more than just a cult classic—it’s a film that influenced the entire genre, from Mad Max to the visual language of post-apocalyptic cinema. The groundbreaking effects and daring concept make it a must-see for anyone who claims to love the genre. This rare screening is your chance to experience a key piece of sci-fi history.
