Silver Screen Science-Fiction Presents...

The Wild Robot (2024)

Sometimes, to survive, you must become more than you were programmed to be.

Things are not looking good for Universal Dynamics ROZZUM Unit 7134 (Lupita Nyong'o, Black Panther). Washed overboard and stranded on a remote island, the intelligent robot "Roz" finds herself alone, surrounded by wild animals that fear her and being attacked by the grizzly bear, Thorn (Mark Hamill, Star Wars). 

But when circumstances lead her to becoming the adopted mother of an orphaned gosling, she must adapt quickly to help her new animal friends, unaware that Universal Dynamics, who is now looking to recover her, may not have the island's best interests at heart.

Join us for a heart-warming tale of found families as we watch The Wild Robot (2024) in the unique venue of the Peter Harrison Planetarium. Come before the film to take part in exciting science activities linked to the film and ask the astronomers of the Royal Observatory Greenwich about how scientists are using robots to understand and protect the environment of the Earth.

Plan your visit

Can children attend?

The film is rated U and is generally suitable for younger children. The film has occasional moments of mild peril that very young children may find upsetting. Please be aware that all children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult and their attendance is at their adult's discretion.

When should I arrive?

The film will begin at 6.30 pm, but the café and doors will be open from 5.30 pm. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before the film begins or sooner if you wish to head to the café and the science demos before the film.

I'm planning to drive to this event. Where do I park?

The event occurs entirely within Greenwich Park's opening hours so you can arrive by car as normal. There is parking available just outside the Observatory.

I'm planning to walk/take public transport to this event. How do I get in?

The event will start within Greenwich Park's opening hours so you can arrive and leave on foot as normal.

What happens if I am running late?

If you arrive after the film has begun, you will still be able to get into the Planetarium to see the remainder of the movie.

Are companion/carer tickets available?

Companions to disabled visitors are entitled to free admission. These tickets can be selected online when booking any paid ticket.

Please be aware that wheelchair spaces in the Planetarium are limited. The minibus taking visitors from Greenwich Park gates to the Planetarium is also not wheelchair accessible. If you have any concerns or need to make alternate arrangements, please contact Bookings at bookings@rmg.co.uk or call 0208 312 6608.

I have another question.
