Description:
The Starlite Drive-In celebrates it's 60th Anniversary and the opening weekend for 2013 with the science fiction film Oblivion starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman.

Oblivion will be shown twice on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. The first showing will start at dusk with the second showing following immediately.

Film Synopsis:
A solitary drone repairman working on a war-ravaged planet Earth becomes humanity’s last hope for survival in this ambitious sci-fi epic from Tron Legacy director Joseph Kosinski, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes producer Peter Chernin. In the distant future, planet Earth has been decimated by an intergalactic battle against an alien race known as the Scavs. The majority of the mankind has been evacuated, leaving just a few solitary drone repairmen remaining on the planet’s surface. Their job is simple – stand guard over the ruins of a once-great empire by patrolling the skies, and ensuring the drones continue to function.

Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) is nearing the end of his mission to extract resources essential to the survival of the human race when he witnesses a spacecraft fall from the sky. Upon investigating, Jack discovers the capsule contains a mysterious woman. With mission control watching his every move from high up above the clouds, Jack embarks on a spectacular adventure that will not only challenge everything he’s been taught about mankind’s most defining battle, but perhaps alter the entire course of human history.

The film is rated PG-13 and the run time is 126 minutes.

The gates will open at approximately 7-7:30 pm. There are generally long lines for the first showing so please plan accordingly.

CASH ONLY. There is no ATM on site, and the Starlite does not accept checks.
