We’re happy to offer our DC readers the chance to attend a free early screening of Encounter, Amazon Studios’ sci-fi film starring Riz Ahmed and Octavia Spencer. The film opens in theaters on December 3rd, followed by Amazon Prime Video on December 10th.
SYNOPSIS: Desperate to save his two young sons, Jay and Bobby, from a mysterious threat, decorated Marine Malik Khan (Riz Ahmed) packs them in a car and sets off on a perilous journey across the western U.S. But while racing toward a secret military base in Nevada that may hold the key to safety, the trio encounters danger at every turn. Staying one step ahead of a group of government agents, Malik and the boys find themselves bonding in unexpected ways. As their relentless pursuers close in, and with time quickly running out, each of them must confront hard truths about the world, forcing Jay and Bobby to leave their childhoods behind.
