Tonight you can see Andy Griffith on screen at the Old State House at 5:30.  At 7pm, you can see an opus by Opie as Ron Howard’s recent film Rush is screened by the Little Rock Film Festival at the Ron Robinson Theater.  (If you want to have a Mayberry weekend, you can see Griffith tonight and catch a reprise of Rush on Sunday at 7pm.)

Two-time Academy Award®-winner Ron Howard delivers the exhilarating true story of a legendary rivalry that rocked the world. During the sexy and glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing, two drivers emerged as the best: gifted English playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth, The Avengers) and his methodical, brilliant Austrian opponent, Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl, Inglourious Basterds). As they mercilessly clash on and off the Grand Prix racetrack, the two drivers push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance, where there’s no shortcut to victory and no margin for error.

The film reunited Howard with screenwriter Peter Morgan from Frost/Nixon.

Rush is rated R.  Admission is $5 and concessions will be available for $1.
