    WHAT:      To enjoy the Special Screening of TOUCHSTONE  PICTURES /

               In present-day London, twelve-year-old Quinn watches as his
               mother, a construction engineer, inadvertently wakes an
               enormous fire-breathing beast from its centuries-long slumber.
               Twenty years later, much of the world has been scarred by the
               beast and its offspring.  As a fire chief, Quinn
               (CHRISTIAN BALE) is responsible for warding off the beasts and
               keeping a small community alive as they eke out a meager
               existence.  Into their midst comes a hotshot American,
               Van Zan (MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY), who says he has a way to kill
               the beasts and save mankind -- a way Quinn's never seen done.
               Directed by Rob Bowman ("The X Files"), "Reign of Fire" fuses a
               medieval past with a post-apocalyptic future in this exciting
               tale of adventure and survival.
