See the ‘EXTRAORDINARY’ Journey of Ultra-Marathoner David Horton in U.S. Cinemas September 7 Only

Based on the real-life events of acclaimed ultra-marathoner David Horton, “EXTRAORDINARY” brings Horton’s story to movie theaters nationwide for one night this fall. Created and produced by Liberty University film students, “EXTRAORDINARY” follows Horton as he tackles a nearly 3,000-mile run that takes its toll on his body and brings his marriage to the breaking point.

Fathom Events and Liberty University present “EXTRAORDINARY” in U.S. movie theaters for one night on Thursday, September 7, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. local time. In addition to the feature content, a panel of marriage counseling experts, filmmakers and “EXTRAORDINARY” stars will discuss the importance of maintaining a healthy marriage, along with practical ways to improve relationships. Horton’s marriage was tested during his grueling run, and the panel will explore the impact following your dreams can have on those closest to you.

Tickets for “EXTRAORDINARY” can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in more than 400 select movie theaters through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network (DBN).

“I am excited for audiences to experience ‘EXTRAORDINARY’ on the big screen for one night on Thursday, September 7,” said Liberty University President, Jerry Falwell. “‘EXTRAORDINARY’ will encourage couples to go the distance in their marriages and is a wonderful opportunity to start a dialogue about honoring your family, persevering and finishing well. Daily, we challenge our students and faculty to engage the world through Christian media and ‘EXTRAORDINARY’ does that in a big way. This movie truly is a labor of love for Liberty University’s film school.”

The seemingly endless road beckons. Well beyond exhausted, his body trudges onward—quitting is never an option. Aiming toward the finish line of another transcontinental race, he senses his prize this time is much greater than any medal or honor. Every step leads him closer to home. Based on a true marriage journey, "EXTRAORDINARY"tells the amazing story of ultra-marathon runner and college professor David Horton, his wife, Nancy, and their attempt to finish their marriage race well.

“Family plays an important role in our society,” Fathom Events CEO John Rubey said. “This redemptive story brings to light some of the sacrifices of marriage but will inspire audiences to appreciate, support and treasure their loved ones.”
