HOT TICKET

‘Gravity’
See the stars under the stars

If you haven’t seen the award-winning space thriller Gravity yet, or even if you have, you’re going to want see it outside, under the stars come August 21 at Miller Outdoor Theatre. • This on-the-edge-of-your-seat, can’t-breathe, oh-my-god! movie was made to be seen outdoors at nighttime. It will take your breath away. Almost the entire film takes place in outer space, amongst the stars. And there are just two actors, but what actors! Sandra Bullock—in what should have been another Oscar-winning performance—and George Clooney. In what should have been a routine space walk, a terrible accident happens and the space shuttle is destroyed, leaving the pair adrift among the stars. We aren’t saying anything more, in case you haven’t seen this film yet, but there’s a reason it was nominated as Best Picture of 2013. • See the stars under the stars. The free film starts at 8:30 p.m. See milleroutdoortheatre.com for more information. —Marene Gustin
