Free move slated at Rocky Top 10 theatre

The Cumberland County Film Society and the Rocky Top 10 theater are pleased to invite you to the FREE showing of Robot and Frank on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 7 P.M.

As you can guess, this entertaining film is about curmudgeon Frank, a “retired” cat burglar, and his robot.

Set “sometime in the future,” it starts with Frank’s son gifting a very reluctant Frank with a personal robot that cooks and cleans (ladies, take note) so that Frank can stay in his own home rather than having to go to a group home.

And so that the son can be relieved of some of his worrying about “the old man.”

As an unlikely friendship develops, so do the complications – and dangers. The always remarkable Frank Langella leads a perfect cast that includes Susan Sarandon as the local town librarian dealing with the loss of books as it is “modernized” with electronic gadgetry.

This is an often funny but also  touching story about dealing with the past and the uncertain future, and finding friends and love in unexpected places.

The Film Society is a non-profit membership organization. This movie is the second in a fall season of five films. Five additional movies were shown this spring. Membership is $10/person/year.

Only two of the movies this fall will be free to all comers on Tuesday evenings at 7; the next is on Oct. 8th. The regular features for members are shown at 1 P.M. on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, every two weeks.

You may join the Film Society for the remaining fall season for $10/person before the film on Tuesday the 24th or Thursday the 26th if you come to the Rocky Top by 12:30 P.M. Doors open at 12:15. Some of the movies have a separate theater for the hard of hearing with subtitles.
