Golden Classic Film Series

Hero

Hero starring Dustin Hoffman, Geena Davis, and Andy Garcia.

Ace reporter Gale Gayley, literally falls into the story of a lifetime when she's a passenger on an airplane that crashes into a Chicago bridge. In the smoke and darkness, she's saved by a rude, foul-mouthed "hero" who promptly disappears into the night leaving only one shoe behind. When Gale's TV station offers a million dollars to the mystery hero, a gentle Vietnam vet appears to claim the prize and share it with the city's homeless. 117 minutes.

Come early for light refreshments served at 9:30 a.m courtesy of the Friends of the Decatur Library. Doors close at 10 a.m.  No admittance after the movie begins.
