“Inception” (2010). Experience Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending blockbuster Inception on the big screen. This visually stunning science-fiction thriller follows Dom Cobb, a skilled thief who steals secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state. Given a chance at redemption, Cobb is tasked with an unprecedented challenge: planting an idea rather than stealing one. Known for its layered storytelling, groundbreaking visual effects, and unforgettable score, Inception is a modern classic that rewards both first-time viewers and repeat watches—especially in a historic theatre setting.  Doors: 6:30 PM.  Film Begins: 7:00 PM. Admission: Free medium popcorn & drink combo for Members • $5 at the door.  Michigan Theatre, Downtown Jackson.
