About this event
PERFECT PAIRS: Book tickets for two or more of Jason and the Argonauts , Clash of the Titans and The Odyssey ( 70mm or digital ) in the same transaction to receive a discount! Jason sets out on a perilous quest to find the Golden Fleece, leading a team of adventurers called the Argonauts. Along the way they encounter a multitude of monsters including bronze giant Talos, the Harpies, the venomous Hydra and an army of skeletons, all brought to life by special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen. The memorable battle scene between Jason, two Argonauts and an army of skeletons, took Harryhausen four months to create. The film also features an exciting score by Bernard Herrmann, who gives each monster its own theme. "With Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey reigniting our passion for all things Greek Legend, what a perfect time to bring back a couple of films which may, for many of us, contain everything we might imagine we know about it! A perfect time also to find out whether or not Tom Hanks was right when he said: 'Some people say Casablanca or Citizen Kane . I say Jason and the Argonauts is the greatest film ever made.' " - Written by Rod White, Programme Director
