May the 4th be with you. Always. The Rebels scatter after the Empire attacks their base on the ice planet Hoth. Han Solo and Princess Leia are pursued by Imperials, while Luke trains with Jedi Master Yoda. But when Luke battles Darth Vader, he learns the shocking truth of his past. Iconic score from John Williams + May 4th = an otherworldly edition of Music City Mondays.
“A visual extravaganza from beginning to end, one of the most visionary and inventive of all films…. In the glory days of science fiction, critics wrote about the ‘sense of wonder.’ That’s what THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK creates in us.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times “A stunning successor, a tense and pictorially dazzling science-fiction chase melodrama that sustains two hours of elaborate adventure while sneaking up on you emotionally…. A more impressive and harrowing magic carpet ride than its fundamentally endearing predecessor, EMPIRE pulls the carpet out from under you while simultaneously soaring alone.” —Gary Arnold, Washington Post (May, 18, 1980)
A showtime with this icon means that screening will have open captions — a text display of the words, sounds, and speakers’ names in the movie, visible on the screen for everyone to see.
