Karate Kid

Karate Kid

The Lied Super Screen Theatre in the Hastings Museum will feature the recent Hollywood hit film Karate Kid on the giant screen on Friday at 7:15 p.m., Saturday at 7:15 p.m. and Sunday at 4:30 p.m. on August 13-15 and again on August 20-22. A special showing will be held on Sunday, August 15 at 10:30 a.m. for Kool-Aid Days.

12-year-old Dre Parker could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han, who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

Starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan, Karate Kid is rated PG for bullying, martial arts action violence and some mild language.

All 35mm film admissions are $4.50 per person. Seating is limited to 211 for each showing, so reservations are recommended. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call Visitor Services at 402-461-4629 or 1-800-508-4629, option zero.
