Join us for Malden Reads Movie Night at the Malden Public on Tuesday, March 15, 2016 at 6:00-8:45pm in the Maccario Room for the Malden Public Library’s first Malden Reads film screening. We will be showing a recent movie, based on a true story, about two deadly mountain-climbing expeditions on Everest in 1996. The film stars Josh Brolin, Robin Wright, Kiera Knightley, Emily Watson, and Jake Gyllenhaal.
On the morning of May 10, 1996, a group of climbers, including author Jon Krakauer (Into Thin Air), begin their ascent towards the summit of Mount Everest. Without warning, a violent storm engulfs the mountain and the climbers in one of the worst blizzards of all time. Challenged by horrendous conditions, the climbers struggle for survival. Peter Travers, of the Rolling Stone, writes, “Short of heading to the Himalayas and climbing the world's highest mountain yourself, seeing Everest…is the next best thing, a dizzying visual adventure that will knock the wind out of you.”
A discussion of this year's Malden Reads book selection, The Martian, by Andy Weir, will follow the movie. This film is free and open to the public and is accessible. Please call us at 781-324-0218 for more information. Rated PG-13 (122 min.)
