Family-Friendly Screening: COOL RUNNINGS (1993) — 30th Anniversary!

November 25, 2023 : 7:30 pm

$7 – $9

Come out for the Bevo Winter Lights ceremony in Sebilj Park at 5000 Gravois, then head down the street for a family-friendly screening of Cool Runnings at the Arkadin! Kids tickets (12 and under) are just $7!

Feel the Rhythm! Feel the Rhyme! Get on up, it’s bobsled time! Cool Runnings!!!

Based on a true story, Cool Runnings is the comedic saga of four Jamaican athletes going to extremes to compete as bobsled racers at the Winter Olympics. With few resources and virtually no clue about winter sports, it’s an uphill course for this troupe from the tropics who are sliding on thin ice as they go for the gold in Calgary, Canada. Refusing to let anything stand in their way, these four Jamaicans enlist the help of a down-and-out ex-champion American slider named Irv. Unavoidably drawn back to a sport he had come to loathe, Irv is faced with coaching a team of complete novices. But once committed, he is determined to turn them around and to somehow right the wrongs of his own failed career. It’s a bumpy ride but with pride, determination, and dignity, the bobsledders make their impossible dreams come true.

“A wholesome, engaging, frequently hilarious, ultimately inspirational film.” -Washington Post

“A charming tale of determined underdogs, with plenty of laughs, moments of real tension, and five engaging performances.” -The Telegraph
