| 7:30 PM: CLint Eastwood’s THE MULE (Based on a True Story) |
 In THE MULE, based on a true story, Clint Eastwood stars as Earl Stone, a man in his 80s who is broke, alone & facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he’s just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does well – so well, in fact, that his cargo increases exponentially & Earl is assigned a handler. But he isn’t the only one keeping tabs on Earl; the mysterious new drug mule has also hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates (Bradley Cooper). Earl’s past mistakes start to weigh heavily on him & it’s uncertain if he’ll have time to right those wrongs before law enforcement, or the cartel’s enforcers, catch up to him. THE MULE is the exceptional work of Clint Eastwood, starring his daughter Alison Eastwood & Bradley Cooper, giving a glimpse into America’s war on drugs, as well as a portrait of a flawed man running out of second chances.
