Samurai Jack

Samurai Jack, Genndy Tartakovsky's acclaimed cartoon series, finally got an ending in 2017, thirteen years after it went off the air. The complete series will be released in a Blu-ray boxset on Tuesday, October 17, but the day before you can go back to the very beginning with a special screening of Samurai Jack: The Premiere Movie. Fathom Events presents the fully remastered origin film, which begins the saga of a samurai prince who is trained to defeat the ultimate evil — malevolent sorcerer Aku — and almost succeeds in his goal. Cast forward in time to a futuristic world now controlled by Aku, Jack must finish his quest and also find a way to get back to his own time. Samurai Jack: The Premiere Movie screens at 7:30 p.m. Monday, October 16, at Marcus Wehrenberg Ronnies 20 (5320 Lindbergh Boulevard; www.fathomevents.com). Tickets are $12.50.
