Palace Theatre Showing War Horse

Marion Palace Theatre has announced the film War Horse (PG-13) will be shown on January 27, 28 and 29. Show times are Friday at 7:30 pm and Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm.

Jason Buchanan, Rovi movie critic, describes War Horse  as Director Steven Spielberg's epic World War I drama which details the remarkable bond between a man named Albert (Jeremy Irvine) and his loyal horse, Joey.

Adapted from the novel by Michael Morpurgo, War Horse follows the growing friendship between man and beast as Albert trains Joey, and then follows Joey on an incredible journey across the English countryside after the pair are forcibly separated. Along the way, Joey touches the lives of everyone he comes into contact with, including British and German soldiers, as well as a kindly French farmer and his impressionable granddaughter. Later, in no man's land, Joey's extraordinary saga winds to a poignant and deeply affecting climax.
