In THE EAGLE HUNTRESS, a 13-year-old Mongolian girl fights to become the first female eagle hunter in twelve generations of her Kazakh family. This spellbinding documentary captures her personal journey alongside universal themes like female empowerment and the onset of modernity.
Then, in UNDERWORLD: BLOOD WARS (at approx. 9 PM), vampire hunter Selene (Kate Beckinsale) sets out to end the eternal war between the Lycan clan and the Vampire faction that betrayed her once and for all – even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice.

In THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS (aka FAST AND FURIOUS 8), Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) finds his peaceful life upturned when a mysterious woman (Charlize Theron) forces him to betray his team. Now, his closest friends must unite to take down the man who made them a family in order to prevent global catastrophe.
Then, in THE GREAT WALL (at approx. 9:30 PM), European mercenaries and Chinese warriors join forces to make a heroic stand atop the Great Wall of China to combat a horde of monstrous creatures who descend upon the wall every 60 years. Starring Matt Damon and directed by Zhang Yimou.
