From Here to Eternity15

Set against the impending war, a group of American soldiers’ lives become entwined as they navigate relationships and face personal challenges. Among them is a stubborn soldier who refuses to box for his unit due to a past incident, a conflicted Sergeant torn between loyalty and love, and a self-destructive soldier caught in a sadistic sergeant’s web. With a stellar cast and stunning cinematography, Fred Zinnemann’s compelling adaptation of James Jones’ novel swept the Oscars and swiftly became an enduring American classic.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
