cinema at the museum: the iron claw

The Iron Claw is a 2023 drama that tells the true story of the Von Erich brothers, professional wrestlers in the early 1980s who battled tragedy and ambition under their father's strict control. Directed by Sean Durkin, the film runs just over two hours and explores themes of family, perseverance, and ego through the lens of competitive sport.

This screening is part of Cinema at the Museum's July series on storytelling and relationships through sport. Tickets are ten dollars, though members and youth under eighteen get in free. The film contains violence, drug use, and coarse language, and is recommended for audiences thirteen and up.
