Celebrate the sweeping romance and breathtaking beauty of Out of Africa on its 40th anniversary, as the Academy Award–winning epic returns to the big screen!
Starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, and based on the memoir by Karen Blixen, this grand tale of love, loss, and adventure across colonial Kenya remains one of cinema’s most visually stunning achievements. With John Barry’s unforgettable score and director Sydney Pollack’s masterful storytelling, Out of Africa is pure old-Hollywood grandeur — romantic, tragic, and impossibly beautiful.
Rediscover this Oscar-winning masterpiece the way it was meant to be experienced — on the big screen, where every sunset, every glance, and every note soars.
