Eight strangers. One deadly connection.

Join us at the Rio Theatre for director Quentin Tarantino’s eighth feature film THE HATEFUL EIGHT, opening on Friday, January 8. Tarantino has assembled a star-studded cast for his latest epic, including regulars like Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, and Michael Madsen as well as Jennifer Jason Leigh, Kurt Russell, Channing Tatum, and Bruce Dern.

“Set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth and his fugitive Daisy Domergue, race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren, a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix, a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie’s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob, who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray, the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers. As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all…” Starring Samuel Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Kurt Russell, Channing Tatum, Walton Goggins, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, Zoë Bell and Demien Bichir.
