The Marion Palace Theatre will show the dramatic film “The Impossible” on March 22, 23 and 24, 2013. In 2004, a devastating tsunami hit Southeast Asia. “The Impossible” is the true story of one family’s journey of hope and survival in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time.
A regular family – Maria (Naomi Watts), Henry (Ewan McGregor) and their three kids – travel to Thailand to spend Christmas. A perfect paradise vacation until a terrifying roar rises up from the center of the earth and a huge wall of black water races across the hotel grounds toward them; Maria and her eldest are swept one way, Henry and the youngest are carried in another direction.
The true-life terror is moderated by the astonishing displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that Maria and her family come upon during the darkest hours of their lives.
The film is rated PG-13 for intense realistic disaster sequences, including disturbing injury images and brief nudity and runs 114 minutes.
“The Impossible” will play at the Marion Palace Theatre Friday, March 22 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 23 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 24 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $4/Adults, $3/Seniors (62 & over), $2/Children (12 and under).
