Tom Cruise is the hardest working man in show business. Sure, question his personal life all you want. But don’t question the man’s work ethic. And let’s not even try to argue that he’s never entertained you. Because if you have been to a movie or own a television, you’ve almost certainly been entertained by Tom Cruise at some point in your life.
No film franchise better illustrates this immutable truth than the Mission: Impossible films. No longer a spring chicken, Cruise climbs around on the Burj Khalifa and straps himself to the outside of airborne planes for our enjoyment. And as each film in the series is helmed by a different director with a fresh take, the Mission: Impossible films have become an unexpected bastion of surprise amidst countless big budget tentpole films that give us exactly what we know we’re going to get.
Flagship member of the Tom Cruise fan club Greg MacLennan, programmer at the Alamo Drafthouse here in Austin, TX, has assembled all 4 M:I movies for a killer marathon this Sunday at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz, just in time to catch you up before Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation hits theaters. And he’s invited 2 lucky Cinapse readers to come on the house! Below you’ll see how to enter to win these passes, should you choose to accept them. And you should.
This giveaway will self destruct at some point on Friday, when 2 winners will be chosen.
Giveaway Rules
There are 2 ways to enter, and yes, you can do both to double your chances!* But you’ll need to make sure you can actually attend and be present for the marathon, beginning at 2pm at the Alamo Ritz in downtown Austin. It’ll go late into the night.
