Get a jump on the big Boxing Day releases.
Based on Eric Lomax's bestselling memoir, The Railway Man is the story of a former prisoner's struggle to come to terms with the horror of his time being forced to work on the Thai/Burma railway during World War II.
Set to be released in Australia on Boxing Day, The Railway Man boasts a stellar cast, including Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman, Stellan Skarsgård and Jeremy Irvine and is directed by Australian Jonathan Teplitzky, who's 2011 film Burning Man made a big impression.
After the war, Lomax returned home and fell in love with Patti. However, he continues to be haunted by the memories of torture at the hands of a particular Japanese officer who discovers the radio that Lomax has built. When, years later, Patti discovers that her husband's tormentor is still alive, she must decide whether or not she should tell her husband, and what the consequences of her decision might be.
Thanks to Transmission Films, we've got five double passes to a special preview screening of The Railway Man at the newly renovated Palace Cinemas Norton Street on Monday, December 16, at 6.45pm to give away.
