‘WRATH OF KHAN’ BACK IN THEATERS; TASTE OF HAMBURG-ER FEST RETURNS
The following events are planned for the week ahead
throughout the region:
Fathom Events presents 40th anniversary screenings of the director’s cut of “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” on Sunday, Monday and next Thursday in select theaters. On routine training maneuvers, Adm. James T. Kirk seems resigned that this may be the last space mission of his career. But an adversary from the past has returned with a vengeance. Aided by his exiled band of genetic supermen, Khan (Ricardo Montalban) — brilliant renegade of 20th century Earth — has raided Space Station Regula One, stolen the top-secret device called Project Genesis, wrested control of another Federation starship and now schemes to set a most deadly trap for his old enemy Kirk, with the threat of a universal armageddon. This special 40th anniversary event includes exclusive insight from
Turner Classic Movies. For participating theaters, show times and tickets, see fathomevents.com.
