Be the very first to see the glorious 4k Restoration of the nostalgic childhood favourite of our dreams. It's an absolute must-see to those who haven't and a warmly welcomed revisit to those who hold it close. SYNOPSIS: After learning that a boy their age has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four boys decide to go see the body. On the way, Gordie, Vern, Chris and Teddy encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, as they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.
"Stand By Me is one of those films that stands up to the test of time... it has a charm and depth that seems to resonate with each generation." - The Telegraph
"Scripters have written inspired dialog for this quartet of plucky boys at that hard-to-capture age when they’re still young enough to get scared and yet old enough to want to sneak smokes and cuss." - Variety
"The entire cast is superb (River Phoenix & Kiefer Sutherland are stand out) and it so perfectly paced, that the story unfolds with wit, pathos and sensitivity and completely free of emotional shortcuts." - Empire
COME EARLY! Doors 6:30pm, pre-show 7pm
