At the Liberty: Chaos Walking

DAYTON—Chaos Walking, released in the US in early March 2021, will show April 16, 17, 18 and 20. Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm, Sunday 3:00 pm, and Tuesday 6:30 pm, at the Liberty Theatre.

Based on the first book in the young adult sci-fi trilogy by Carnegie Award-winning author Patrick Ness, comes a bold cinematic experience directed by Doug Linman. Todd Hewitt (Tom Holland) lives in a settlement on the distant and unexplored planet, New World--a new hope for humanity. Earlier, the settlers were afflicted by The Noise, a virus that made men’s thoughts audible and visible to others. Though women were unaffected, aliens killed them years ago, condemning the settlement to extinction.

Todd makes a hidden, silent discovery: there is a girl named Viola (Daisy Ridley), who may be the key to unlocking New World’s many-layered secrets. Together, the two unlikely companions are forced on a white-knuckle adventure trying to escape and hide in an environment where all thought is heard, all movement seen. They discover the truth about the lives they left behind and the spectacular world they’ve learned to call home.

RATED PG-13 for violence and language, with a runtime of 109 minutes.
