Dodge College is thrilled to present an exclusive screening of the brand new, soon-to-be-released thriller Prisoners starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman!

The screening is Thursday, September 19 at 7:00 PM in the Folino Theater, and is free for all Dodge College and Chapman University students.  There will be no tickets for the screening, and seats will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis — so get there early!  Especially since the film hasn’t even hit theaters yet, I’d recommend being in line no later than 6:45 if you want to guarantee yourself a seat.

As for the story, Prisoners asks,

How far would you go to protect your family? Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) is facing every parent’s worst nightmare. His six-year-old daughter, Anna, is missing, together with her young friend, Joy, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had earlier been parked on their street. Heading the investigation, Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) arrests its driver, Alex Jones (Paul Dano), but a lack of evidence forces his release.

As the police pursue multiple leads and pressure mounts, knowing his child’s life is at stake the frantic Dover decides he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands. But just how far will this desperate father go to protect his family?

Led by Jackman and Gyllenhaal, the dramatic thriller “Prisoners” features an all-star cast, including Oscar® nominee Viola Davis (“The Help,” “Doubt”), Golden Globe Award nominee Maria Bello (“A History of Violence,” “The Cooler”) and Oscar® nominee Terrence Howard (“Hustle & Flow”), with Academy Award® winner Melissa Leo (“The Fighter”) and Paul Dano.

Already receiving some excellent reviews, Prisoners looks to be a really captivating, beautiful experience.  I’ll see you there!
