A legendary figure in Hollywood, Tom Cruise has entertained audiences on the big screen for over forty years. This summer, Cruise is set to receive one of the British Film Institute’s highest honours, a BFI Fellowship.

Cruise is that rare star who is equally at home in a high-octane action franchise like Mission: Impossible and critically acclaimed auteur films like Magnolia and Eyes Wide Shut.

He is also being deservedly recognised for his ‘dedication to reinventing cinematic spectacle and preserving the theatrical experience’ (BFI), which will be on full display in the upcoming Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (from May 19^th).

To mark this momentous occasion, the BFI will host a season of iconic Tom Cruise films. Not to be outdone, the Regal team has curated a special line-up of four fan-favourite Cruise classics, returning to the big screen for a special ‘Tom Cruise Day’ on May 18th. This ultimate movie marathon promises to take audiences on a thrilling journey through some of the actor’s most memorable roles.

Tickets start from just £5.50 for Picturehouse Members and are available at the box office or online at picturehouses.com
