The IMAX Theatre Rivercenter announces
the opening of "Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West."
Presented by National Geographic, this IMAX film depicts one
of the most compelling and heroic adventure stories in history.
The film chronicles a group of explorers -- the Corps of Discovery
-- led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark into uncharted
territory to find a water passageway to the Pacific Ocean and
describe for science the wonders of the west.
The expedition encountered and
conquered an endless series of physical challenges as they
traveled through raging rivers, buffalo-filled prairies, sub-zero
temperatures and rugged mountains on their 8,000-mile journey to
the Pacific Ocean and back. The generosity of Native Americans in
helping the explorers is detailed, including the story of
Sacagawea, a teen-aged, Native American girl who accompanied the
group and whose contributions were invaluable to the success of
the expedition.
With careful research and
meticulous recreations, this scientific expedition lives again on
the big screen. In "Lewis & Clark: Great Journey
West," movie-goers will go back 200 years to experience this
monumental quest -- the journey of Lewis, Clark and their Corps of
Discovery through the adventure, danger and beauty of the unmapped
West.
