Join us for a special film screening of "The High and the Mighty" (Paramount, 1954). Somewhat of a sequel to "Airport" (1970), this film about a midair collision is the basis for many parodies, even though they are oh, so serious in this film. One clue to staying away from air disasters….keep clear of George Kennedy (who is featured in all of the "Airport" movies). Color, 107 minutes.

Programs are free and open to the public. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Seating at the screenings is on a first-come, first-served basis unless otherwise noted. 

Wearing face masks is recommended as the theater will open to 100% capacity. Patrons must go through an “airport style” security check, and no large parcels, purses or backpacks are permitted. 

The Packard Campus is located at 19053 Mount Pony Road in Culpeper, Virginia. Access to the campus parking lot begins one hour before show time, entrance into the building begins 45 minutes before the show, and the theater opens for seating 30 minutes before the curtain. Please do not arrive early and queue at the Packard Campus gate.
