THE GREATEST CULT MOVIES OF ALL-TIME ARE BACK ON THE BIG SCREEN!

Don't miss David Lynch's controversial, mind-blowing adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi masterpiece, starring Kyle MacLachlan, Patrick Stewart, Jack Nance and Sting!

"Hallucinatory, trippy, visually dense and utterly insane. This isn't just one of the weirdest sci-fi movies ever; it may well be the weirdest David Lynch film ever." - E FILM CRITIC.COM

"A world beyond your experience, beyond your imagination."

Even more than most of David Lynch's patently bizarre and idiosyncratic movies, DUNE is a "love-it-or-hate-it" proposition, and a cult movie-lover's dream. An ambitious, epic, utterly mind-boggling--and, let's admit it, all-out weird--adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel, DUNE remains one of the most controversial films in the director's exceedingly provocative career. The story is complex and convoluted in the epic tradition, dealing with political intrigue and a planet that is home to a precious spice and gigantic sand worms. Think Shakespeare's Henry IV with a dash of Tremors and a pinch of Eraserhead, and set in another galaxy far, far away. Filmed in Mexico on massive, gloriously strange sets full of mechanical oddities (the film was originally a dream project for El Topo director Alejandro Jodorowsky), DUNE is propelled by a plethora of memorably fantastic/grotesque images (bolstered by a number of familiar Lynchian touches throughout, including a nasty, gravity-defying, boil-encrusted villain who seems to have stepped out of the Eraserhead radiator), an extraordinary cast, and a soundtrack featuring '80 rock group Toto. Among the stars are Lynch regulars Kyle MacLachlan, Dean Stockwell, Jack Nance and Brad Dourif, as well as Jose Ferrer, Kenneth McMillan, Patrick Stewart, Sean Young, Linda Hunt and pop star Sting, wearing a metal speedo! Yes, it's weird ... ingest your own "spice" before hitting the theatre.
