This is a Past Event and has been Archived.
Compelling 2010 remake of the ultimate Western. Starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and the impressive, young Hailee Steinfeld, this is the Coen brothers award-winning reworking of the tale of a 14-year old farm girl, Mattie Ross, who sets out to capture her father's killer. To help her, she hires the toughest US Marshall she can find, a man with 'true grit', but whose drinking and sloth far from reassure her. In their trek into the Indian Nations to find the killer, they are joined in the hunt by a Texas Ranger. The unlikely trio face all sorts of dangers and surprises, and each has his or her 'grit' tested.
