The Founder

Sunday, May 21 at 3 pm, we present "The Founder", starring Michael Keaton as Ray Kroc.

Directed by John Lee Hancock (Saving Mr. Banks), The Founder features the true story of how Ray Kroc (Michael Keaton), a struggling salesman from Illinois, met Mac and Dick McDonald, who were running a burger operation in 1950s Southern California.

Kroc was impressed by the brothers' speedy system of making the food and saw franchise potential. Writer Robert Siegel (The Wrestler) details how Kroc maneuvered himself into a position to be able to pull the company from the brothers and create a billion-dollar empire. The film also stars Laura Dern as Ray Kroc's first wife Ethel; John Carroll Lynch as Mac McDonald and Nick Offerman as Dick McDonald.

Tickets are $7.00 general admission and available online and at the theater box office on hour prior to screen time. (The Plaza Playhouse does not run trailers prior to our films; this film will start promptly at 3 pm.)

This film is rated PG-13 and has a run time of just under 2 hours.
