Why You Can't Miss This Event

Wild Horse Nine is set just before the 1973 Chilean coup. CIA partners and longtime friends Chris (Malkovich) and Lee (Rockwell) are sent to Easter Island—a place Chris has always wanted to visit. But their business trip takes a dark turn when they're confronted by their pasts, and Chris's age complicates matters when he befriends two rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas), putting their mission at risk.

The Alex Theatre, a historic venue built in 1925, is a beloved arthouse that recently installed a 70mm booth to accommodate Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Now, it's offering one of the few chances to see McDonagh's latest in a traditional film format. In an era where the moviegoing experience is evolving, this is a nostalgic and intimate way to enjoy cinema.

Wild Horse Nine officially opens in theaters on November 6. With only a handful of free tickets available, act now to secure your spot. For guaranteed entry, purchase tickets via The Alex. Stay tuned to ShowtimeSpot for more exclusive screening opportunities.
