Sonic the Hedgehog at the Silver Screen Drive-in

June 19 9:30 to 11:10 pm

Our first blockbuster Saturday at the Drive-in is live-action-adventure comedy, “Sonic the Hedgehog”, on Saturday, June 19 at 9:30 pm, based on the blockbuster videogame.

The world needed a hero -- it got a hedgehog. Powered with incredible speed, Sonic embraces his new home on Earth with small-town police officer, Tom, but when one of his (mis)adventures accidentally knocks out the power grid, it sparks the attention of uncool, evil genius Dr. Robotnik. Then it's an all-out race across the globe to stop Robotnik from using Sonic's unique power to achieve world domination.

“Fittingly fleet and frequently fun, Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game-inspired adventure the whole family can enjoy -- and a fine excuse for Jim Carrey to tap into the manic energy that launched his career.” – Rotten Tomatoes
