We're happy to offer our DC readers passes to a very special advance screening of Captive, the powerful new film starring David Oyelowo (Selma) and Kate Mara (Fantastic Four). This screening will be part of the Captive: Night of Purpose event when you can read more about below. SYNOPSIS: In March 2005, a news story riveted the nation: a woman taken hostage by an escaped killer found an unexpected way out: reading Rick Warren’s best-selling book, “The Purpose Driven Life,” aloud to her captor. In the midst of a harrowing 7-hour ordeal, she brought her kidnapper to a crossroads between despair and hope, knowing the direction he chose would decide both their fates. This miraculous true story comes to the screen as a thrilling drama about the spiritual collision of two broken lives. When Brian Nichols (David Oyelowo, “Selma”) – a man on the run from a city-wide manhunt and determined to make contact with his newborn son – takes recovering addict and single mom Ashley Smith (Kate Mara, “House of Cards,” “The Martian”) hostage in her own apartment, they are both thrust into a tense and emotional fight to survive the night. Ashley is alone with a man who believes he has no way out, and her sole ally appears in the form of a book – a book that for a brief moment unites Ashley and her kidnapper in the only thing they share: an urgent need to find purpose in their lives.
The screening takes place Thursday, September 17th at 7:00pm at Regal Majestic in Silver Spring. If you're interested in attending, simply go to the Gofobo site here and download an Admit-Two pass. Enjoy the show!
Captive opens in theaters on September 18th.
