Texas brothers Toby (Chris Pine) and Tanner (Ben Foster) come together after years divided to rob branches of the bank threatening to foreclose on their family land.

Final screenings at 2 and 7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 3.

Bolshoi Ballet: ‘The Bright Stream’ (2 hours, 30 minutes)
Alexei Ratmansky invokes the genius of Shostakovich’s score at the Bolshoi Ballet, creating a laugh-out-loud masterpiece with its bits of slapstick comedy, hilarious deceptions, and false identities, including principal dancer Ruslan Skvortsov dressed as a Sylph, and the production’s many colorful characters. The Bolshoi bursts with vivid life and bright spirits in Ratmansky’s brilliantly choreographed smash hit. Plays at 1 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 6.
