Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

At the Liberty: THE COURIER

April 30- May 4

The Courier (released in March 2021) is the true story of an unassuming British businessman Greville Wynne (Benedict Cumberbatch) recruited into one of the greatest international conflicts in history. At the behest of the UK's MI-6 and a CIA operative (Rachel Brosnahan), he forms a covert, dangerous partnership with Soviet officer Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze) to provide crucial intelligence needed to prevent a nuclear confrontation and defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Some reviewers have stated that this is an old-fashioned British spy thriller that keeps you engaged. Rotten Tomatoes rates this film with 87% favorable reviews and an audience score of 95% favorable.

This film shows on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm, Sunday at 3:00 pm, and Tuesday at 6:30 pm (not 7:30). It is rated PG-13 for violence, partial nudity, brief strong language, and smoking throughout.
