BASE – Service members, military families and retirees can enjoy a free advance screening of “Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant” at the Travis Reel Time Theater on April 15, in advance of the film’s nationwide theatrical release on April 21.

“Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant” follows U.S. Army Sgt. John Kinley (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Afghan interpreter Ahmed (Dar Salim). After an ambush, Ahmed goes to Herculean lengths to save Kinley’s life. When Kinley learns that Ahmed and his family were not given safe passage to America as promised, he must repay his debt by returning to the war zone to retrieve them before the Taliban hunts them down first.

“Travis is thrilled to bring another military-exclusive showing to our service members and their families,” said Travis BX General Manager Cathie Byrns. “It is an honor to team with MGM to bring this Exchange benefit to our Warfighters and further strengthen their Quality of Life.”
