“Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk,” a 2016 U.S. war drama film directed by Ang Lee based on the novel of the same name by Ben Fountain, will be shown free of admission.

The film stars Joe Alwyn, Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund, Vin Diesel, Steve Martin and Chris Tucker. It chronicles the experience of a group of Iraq War veterans who are hailed as heroes and sent on a victory tour following their engagement in an intense firefight that happened to be caught on camera. Set during a single day, the story primarily focuses on specialist Billy Lynn’s perspective as he struggles to reconnect with his family and come to grips with the huge disconnect between the realities of the war at home and the war overseas as Bravo Squad is sent to participate in the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving halftime show. The primary themes include fraternity, the commercialization of war, and what it really means to support the war when the real costs are barely felt by the majority of U.S. citizens at home.

The movie is the first ever feature film using an extra high frame rate of 120 frames per second, further complicated with 3-D format, at 4K HD resolution.
