on the big screen!
Tuesday, November 19th 1:30 PM
A seismologist develops a method for predicting earthquakes, but too late to save the people of Los Angeles from a 9.9 on the Richter Scale catastrophe in director Mark Robson’s action-packed entry in the 1970s disaster boom. Charlton Heston leads the cast of familiar faces trying to survive amid the falling debris, but the film’s real stars are the Oscar-winning craftspeople—the visual effects team of Frank Brendel, Glen Robinson, and Albert Whitlock, and sound mixers Ronald Pierce and Melvin Metcalfe Sr. The film introduced the theater-shaking audio system Sensurround, which earned its creators a 1974 Sci-Tech Award from the Academy. (USA, 1974, 122 mins, PG, English | Dir. Mark Robson)
