Master and Commander this Saturday at the Strand

VICKSBURG, Miss. – The Strand Theatre will present a viewing of Master and Commander: the Far Side of the World this Saturday, November 9 at 7 p.m.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is a 2003 American film co-written, produced and directed by Peter Weir, set during the Napoleonic Wars.

In 1805, aboard the H.M.S. Surprise, the brash Captain Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe) and his trusted friend, the ship’s scholarly surgeon, Stephen Maturin (Paul Bettany), are ordered to hunt down and capture a powerful French vessel off the South American coast. Though Napoleon is winning the war and the men and their crew face an onslaught of obstacles, including their own internal battles, “Lucky Jack” is determined that nothing will stop the Surprise from completing its mission.

Tickets are $9 in advance at Highway 61 Coffeehouse, and $10 at the door.

The Strand Theatre is located at 717 Clay Street.

And.. the popcorn is free!
