Christmas screening of 'The Polar Express', Robert Zemeckis' film based on Chris Van Allsburg's book, at The Dome Cinema's Christmas programme.
The Polar Express is screening at The Dome Cinema on Saturday 13 December, as part of their Christmas programme. It's a 100-minute children's film directed by Robert Zemeckis, based on Chris Van Allsburg's modern holiday classic of the same name.
The story follows Billy, who struggles to believe in Santa Claus until Christmas Eve, when a mysterious train carries him and a group of other children to the North Pole to meet Santa himself. The train's conductor, voiced by Tom Hanks, turns Billy's crisis of faith into a journey of self-discovery. Hanks was a long-time fan of Van Allsburg's book and helped produce the film as well as providing the voice for the conductor.
It's a family-friendly one, and the 100-minute runtime makes it an easy one to fit into a busy December. The screening is part of the cinema's wider Christmas line-up, so it's one of several festive titles they're running through the season.
