The Odyssey

2026. 172 m. Christopher Nolan. Universal Pictures. UK/US. English. Rated R.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is an epic adaptation of Homer’s foundational saga, charting the perilous journey of Odysseus (Matt Damon), mighty warrior and king of Ithaca, as he attempts to return home to his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (Tom Holland) following the conclusion of the Trojan War. Also starring Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, Benny Safdie, and Charlize Theron.

Please note that, due to the necessity of staffing additional projectionists to manage multiple 35mm screenings a day, we charge a premium ticket price for 35mm screenings of new releases like The Odyssey: $15 (members), $15 (students), $20 (nonmembers).
