| Description: |
Downtown Blacksburg, Inc. and The Lyric Theatre present "The Polar Express" as part of the 2014/2015 Free Family Film Fest on Saturday, December 20th. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and based on children's author Chris Van Allsburg's modern holiday classic of the same name, The Polar Express revolves around Billy (Hayden McFarland,) who longs to believe in Santa Claus but finds it quite difficult to do so, what with his family's dogged insistence that all of it, from the North Pole, to the elves, to the man himself, is all just a myth. This all changes, however, on Christmas Eve, when a mysterious train visits Billy in the middle of the night, promising to take him and a group of other lucky children to the North Pole for a visit with Santa. The film is rated G. Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338348/ A great way to spend a Saturday with the family- enjoy a free movie on us and then stop in for lunch at one of our wonderful downtown restaurants or do some shopping in one of our fabulous downtown stores! The film is a gift from DBI and the Lyric. For more information, visit: http://www.thelyric.com/events/?ID=1453 |
