The Loft Movie Theatre is proud to present a one-night special screening of John Carpenter’s 1981 dystopian action classic, Escape From New York.

In the grim future of 1997, Manhattan has been transformed into a maximum-security mega-prison. When the U.S. president’s plane is hijacked and crashes into the city, ex-soldier and convicted criminal Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) faces a dangerous proposal - to rescue the president in exchange for his freedom.

With just 24 hours to complete his mission before he is left to die within the prison walls, Snake must navigate a chaotic underworld of eccentric characters, dangerous gangs, and power-hungry criminals.

With a great cast including Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau and Harry Dean Stanton, a gritty atmosphere, tense action, and Carpenter’s iconic minimal synth soundtrack, Escape from New York is a cult sci-fi spectacle not to be missed on the big screen!

Seen by over 120 million people worldwide, LES MISÉRABLES is undisputedly one of the world’s most popular musicals. In 2019, Cameron Mackintosh produced a spectacular sell-out staged concert version at the Gielgud Theatre featuring an all-star cast including Michael Ball, Alfie Boe, Carrie Hope Fletcher, Matt Lucas and John Owen Jones. Now cinema audiences can experience a unique encore of this incredible show to celebrate Les Misérables 40th Anniversary. Featuring a cast and orchestra of over 65 and including the songs I Dreamed A Dream, Bring Him Home, One Day More and On My Own this sensational staged concert is not to be missed.

David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife, Criminal Record) lead a stellar cast in an ‘enthralling’ (★★★★★ Daily Telegraph) new production of Shakespeare’s MACBETH, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen. Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster (Life of Pi, Henry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’ (★★★★★ The Guardian), the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our actions?
