Feast Your Eyes — The Hunt for Red October

Overview

Roxy Cinema's much-loved Feast Your Eyes series enhances the cinema experience by serving up themed dishes to match classic films. On Sunday, March 7, submarine spy thriller The Hunt for Red October will get the culinary treatment with Coco at The Roxy creating a special dessert and cocktail.

The 1990 film from director John McTiernan is an adaptation of Tom Clancy's bestselling novel of the same name. The story is set during the Cold War and involves a rogue Soviet naval captain who wishes to defect to the United States with his officers and the Soviet Navy's newest and most advanced nuclear missile submarine. A CIA analyst correctly deduces his motive and must prove his theory to the U.S. Navy before a violent confrontation between the Soviet and the American navies spirals out of control.

It features a stellar ensemble cast led by Sean Connery, who delivers one of the finest performances of his career in this thrilling, claustrophobic and tense joyride. Fellow costars include Alec Baldwin, Scott Glenn, James Earl Jones and Sam Neill.

The $40 ticket prices includes entry to the screening and the themed treats. Cinema doors will open at 7.15pm for cocktail and dessert collection. The screening will begin at 7.30pm.
