Movie Matinee
A young man who survives a disaster at sea is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. After the sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a wounded zebra, an orangutan and a 450 pound royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and beloved works of fiction in recent years.
