Airmen, military families and retirees can get a free sneak peek of Global Road Entertainment’s “A.X.L.,” starring Alex Neustaedter and Becky G, on Aug. 11 at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base’s Reel Time Theater in the Kittyhawk Area.
The free military appreciation screening begins at 7 p.m. The Wright-Patterson AFB community will get to see the movie almost two weeks before it is released to nationwide audiences on Aug. 24, courtesy of Global Road Entertainment, Lakeshore Entertainment and the Army & Air Force Exchange Service.
“A movie is a great opportunity for Wright-Patterson AFB Airmen to get together with their families and friends,” said Exchange BX Manager Christy Beenenga. “And with all they do for us, the Exchange is proud to help make a free, military-exclusive advanced screening happen for them.”
In the PG-rated film, A.X.L. is a top-secret, robotic dog created by the military to help protect tomorrow’s soldiers. Code named by the scientists who created him, A.X.L. stands for Attack, Exploration, Logistics and embodies the most advanced, next-generation artificial intelligence.
After an experiment gone wrong, A.X.L. is discovered hiding alone in the desert by a kind-hearted outsider named Miles (Alex Neustaedter), who finds a way to connect with him after activating his owner-pairing technology.
Together, the two develop a special friendship based on trust, loyalty and compassion. Helping Miles gain the confidence he’s been lacking, A.X.L. will go to any length to protect his new companion, including facing off against the scientists who created him and who will do anything to get him back. Knowing what is at stake if A.X.L. is captured, Miles teams up with a smart, resourceful ally named Sara (Becky G) to protect his new best friend in a timeless, epic adventure for the whole family.
