Last Minute Sales & Specials

Two-time Oscar nominee Samantha Morton ("Elizabeth: The Golden Age"), Kiefer Sutherland (TV's "24") and Cliff Curtis ("Whale Rider") star in this epic romance set against the breathtaking beauty of 19th century rural New Zealand. Morton portrays the daughter of an Irish-born army surgeon (Oscar nominee Stephen Rea, "The Crying Game") who falls for a Maori tribesman - only to have to raise their child alone when her lover dies of influenza. After the boy is kidnapped by his chieftain grandfather, Morton's quest to find him leaves her torn between her life with an Irish soldier devoted to her family - and a Maori freedom fighter who stirs her passions. Featuring a "flawless performance from Morton" (screenjabber.com), "River Queen" is a powerful film about the heartfelt struggle between love and loyalty.
