Rio Bravo

In honour of their 100th Anniversary, Warner Bros are releasing new restorations of some of their favourite classics!

A small town Texas sheriff must keep custody of a murderer whose brother, a powerful rancher, is trying to help escape. He and his deputies must find a way to hold out against the rancher’s hired guns until the marshal arrives. In the meantime, matters are complicated by the presence of a young gunslinger – and a mysterious beauty who just came in on the last stagecoach.

96% All Critics/100% Top Critics Certified Fresh! “Rio Bravo finds director Howard Hawks — and his stellar ensemble cast — working at peak performance, and the end result is a towering classic of the Western genre.” (Rotten Tomatoes)

4/4 Stars! “It’s more than exciting, and more than just interesting or funny. It’s a pure joy to watch.” (Combustible Celluloid)

4/4 Stars! “From start to finish, rich, intricate characters populate a fast-paced and flawlessly constructed motion picture…As the culmination of Hawks’ skill and trademarks, Rio Bravo affirms the director’s craft as boundless, invariably complex, and ceaselessly entertaining, and the film itself stands as an unrivaled Western milestone.” (Deep Focus Review)

4/4 Stars! “a western classic…a masterpiece…To watch “Rio Bravo” is to see a master craftsman at work. The film is seamless. There is not a shot that is wrong. It is uncommonly absorbing, and the 141-minute running time flows past like running water.” (Roger Ebert)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
