Zero Dark Thirty

For a limited time, as we never forget the attacks on 11 September, "Zero Dark Thirty" will be shown at the National Museum of the Marine Corps' Medal of Honor Theater.
For a decade, an elite team of intelligence and military operatives, working in secret across the globe, devoted themselves to a single goal: to find and eliminate Osama bin Laden. Zero Dark Thirty brings together, Kathryn Bigelow, director of "The Hurt Locker" and first woman to win the Academy Award for Best Director with writer-producer Mark Boal for the story of history's greatest manhunt. The film reveals the cruelty of the War on Terror and just when it seems that all hope of finding bin Laden has faded, an old clue leads the CIA agent’s team right to his doorstep.

Runtime of 2 hours 29 minutes. The film is rated R for strong violence including brutal disturbing images, and for language. Parents are urged to learn more about the film before taking their young children with them.
