DC Readers: Attend An Early Screening Of ‘The Instigators’ Starring Matt Damon & Casey Affleck

We’re happy to offer our DC readers the chance to attend an early screening of Apple’s The Instigators, starring Matt Damon and Casey Affleck! The film is directed by Doug Liman.

SYNOPSIS: Rory (Matt Damon) and Cobby (Casey Affleck) are reluctant partners: a desperate father and an ex-con thrown together to rob a corrupt politician’s ill-gained earnings. But when the heist goes wrong, the two find themselves engulfed in a whirlwind of chaos, pursued not only by police but also by backward bureaucrats and vengeful crime bosses. Completely out of their depth, they convince Rory’s therapist (Hong Chau) to join their riotous getaway through the city, where they must put aside their differences and work together to evade capture — or worse. Directed by Doug Liman and written by Chuck MacLean and Affleck, “The Instigators” also stars Michael Stuhlbarg, Paul Walter Hauser, Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina and Toby Jones, with Jack Harlow and Ron Perlman.

The screening takes place Wednesday, August 7th at 7:00pm at AMC Tysons Corner. If you’d like to attend, RSVP at the Apple TV site here. Please remember all screenings are first come first served and you’ll need to arrive early to ensure seating. Enjoy the show!

The Instigators premieres on Apple TV+ on August 9th.
