A nationwide initiative offering free cinema tickets is coming to Torquay.
On Monday, January 20, otherwise known as ‘Blue Monday,’ Torbay residents can enjoy a highly anticipated 4K restoration of Point Break at Merlin Cinemas, Torquay, completely free of charge.
Supported by the BFI with National Lottery funding, Escapes is a nationwide program designed to provide everyone—especially those who rarely prioritise a trip to the cinema—the opportunity to experience the magic of the big screen for free.
With over 65,000 free cinema tickets claimed in 2024, Escapes continues its mission of bringing everyone to local cinemas every month for free—with an incredible schedule of films planned for 2025.
Escapes will reveal new films every month to give everyone the chance to head to the cinema for free for the ultimate cinema experience and dose of escapism.
Kicking off another epic year of free cinema, on what is dubbed the most depressing day of the year—Blue Monday—Escapes will welcome 1990s cult classic Point Break starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze to the big screen.
Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow, Point Break follows Johnny Utah (Reeves), an FBI agent who infiltrates a group of surfers led by the charismatic Bodhi (Swayze). Suspected of a series of daring bank robberies, the group becomes the focus of Utah’s investigation in one of the most iconic action films of the 90s.
Shining a light on the beauty and charm of independent cinema and spotlighting hidden gems, Escapes is partnering with leading cinema chains, including Picturehouse and Reel cinemas, as well as independent venues across the UK.
Escapes is more than just a series of free screenings; it’s about making cinema accessible to everyone.
Whether you’re reconnecting with cinema after a long break, exploring the hidden gems of independent venues, or enjoying an evening out with friends, Escapes is committed to bringing people to the cinema.
Every screening of Point Break will also feature descriptive subtitles to ensure it’s accessible to a wider audience.
Tickets are FREE and available now at escapetothecinema.co.uk/tickets or via the Escapes Cinematik app
