The LEGO Movie (2014)

Australia, USA, Denmark | 100 min | PG | HD Projection | Dir. Phil Lord & Christopher Miller

The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet (Chris Pratt) an ordinary, rules- following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. (Rotten Tomatoes)

"A clever, vividly imagined, consistently funny, eye-poppingly pretty and oddly profound movie ... about Legos." - Dana Stevens (Slate)

This film is part of our series The 15 Degrees of Samuel L. Jackson. Inspired by the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game, this summer's film series will link actors from film to film to one of Hollywood's biggest icons: Samuel L. Jackson.
