If you like animals – both of the four-legged and two-legged variety – then head out to Durango Stadium 9 on Thursday for a one-night screening of the 1981 cult classic film “Roar.”
Presented by the Durango-based Something Wild Film Festival, “Roar” follows wildlife preservationist Hank (“The Exorcist” producer Noel Marshall), who lives alongside more than 100 untamed animals, including cheetahs, elephants, lions – a lot of lions – and tigers on a preservation in Africa. When his wife and children arrive for a visit, a long-brewing battle for dominance between the lions erupts and threatens their very lives.
“Roar” was directed by Noel Marshall and stars Tippi Hedren, Melanie Griffith, Noel Marshall, John Marshall and Jerry Marshall.
The movie starts at 6:30 p.m. and tickets are $11.
