FRIDAY, AUGUST 8
FILM – Deepsea Challenge 3D
Plot Summary: James Cameron’s “Deepsea Challenge 3D” tells the story of Cameron’s journey to fulfill his boyhood dream of becoming an explorer as he makes that dream reality – and makes history – by becoming the first person to travel solo to the deepest point on the planet. The film chronicles the highs, and literal lows, of “Deepsea Challenge,” the first extensive scientific expedition in a manned submersible to the Challenger Deep, Earth’s deepest place. It was inspired, in part, by the fact that we know less about the deep oceans than we do about the surface of Mars. Cameron deployed his unconventional Deepsea Challenger submersible on 13 dives, collecting numerous samples and identifying 68 new species. On March 26, 2012, the Expedition culminated in Cameron’s historic, solo dive to the Challenger Deep, a staggering 35,787 feet (almost seven miles) beneath the ocean’s surface.

Plot Summary: In the span of a single day, the town of Silverton is ravaged by an unprecedented onslaught of tornadoes.

Most people seek shelter, while others run towards the vortex, testing how far a storm chaser will go for that once-in-a-lifetime shot.
