Catch a great movie during the South Branch Library’s Saturday Matinee event where we play great hits.  At this session we’ll be showing 2020’s “Tenet” starring John David Washington and Robert Pattinson.  In this action sci-fi hit, in a twilight world of international espionage, an unnamed CIA operative, known as The Protagonist, is recruited by a mysterious organization called Tenet to participate in a global assignment that unfolds beyond real time.  The mission: prevent Andrei Sator, a renegade Russian oligarch with precognition abilities, from starting World War III.  The Protagonist will soon master the art of “time inversion” as a way of countering the threat that is to come.  This film is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some suggestive references and brief strong language, and has a run time of 2 hours and 30 minutes.  For additional information, contact staff at 325-698-7565.
