Whether you’re bringing the kids for a fun-filled adventure with Minecraft: The Movie or sticking around for the adrenaline rush of Top Gun: Maverick, our double feature lineup has something for every age and energy level. Watch the sunset give way to screenlight as we kick off the evening with family fun, then turn up the volume for a high-octane finish.

Minecraft: The Movie

Starring Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures | Directed by Jared Hess

Based on the best-selling video game of all time, Minecraft: The Movie brings the iconic blocky universe to life in a live-action adventure full of heart, humour, and creativity. When four unlikely heroes — Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers), and Dawn (Danielle Brooks) — are pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld, they must navigate a bizarre, cubic realm full of Piglins, Zombies, and endless possibilities. Guided by expert crafter Steve (Jack Black), their quest to return home becomes a journey of courage, imagination, and rediscovery. It’s a wild ride for gamers and families alike!

Top Gun: Maverick

Cast: Jennifer Connelly, Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Monica Barbaro, Glen Powell, Miles Teller, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris

After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign “Rooster”, the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose”. Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.
