The Duke12A

Directed by Roger Michell | UK | 2020 | 1h 35m | Starring Jim Broadbent, Helen Mirren, Matthew Goode, Fionn Whitehead

After pulling off a stunning heist at London’s National Gallery, a 60-year-old taxi driver sends a ransom note to the government promising to return the painting if they commit to funding a cause close to his heart and home. British acting legends Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren star in this heartwarming stranger-than-fiction comedy from the director of Notting Hill (1999).

Plan your visit

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 don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
