About Super 8:
In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town set out to make a zombie movie. While shooting their Super 8 film, they witness a catastrophic train crash and, after barely escaping themselves, they soon discover that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town and local Deputy Jack Lamb (Kyle Chandler) tries to uncover the truth – something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.
Paramount Pictures Presents an Amblin Entertainment/Bad Robot Production, "Super 8," starring Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Joel Courtney, Gabriel Basso, Noah Emmerich, Ron Eldard, Riley Griffiths, Ryan Lee and Zach Mills.
Super 8 has been rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language and some drug use.
Super 8: The IMAX Experience is scheduled to play day-and-date at the following IMAX theatres beginning June 10th:
