Tom Hardy brings the excitement of driving home from work to the silver screen in his new film, Locke. Hardy plays Ivan Locke, a man who, bound by duty and a seatbelt, must face the consequences of his past and watch as his life crumbles around him all from within the spacious interior of his luxury four-door sedan. The film opens May 2, but The A.V. Club has an opportunity for you to see an early screening April 29, here in Chicago at 7:30 p.m. Follow the link here and fill out your information for a chance to receive passes to the screening. Remember, seating is first come, first serve, so arrive early! A full synopsis and trailer for the film can be found below.

“Ivan Locke (Hardy) has worked diligently to craft the life he has envisioned, dedicating himself to the job that he loves and the family he adores. On the eve of the biggest challenge of his career, Ivan receives a phone call that sets in motion a series of events that will unravel his family, job, and soul. All taking place over the course of one absolutely riveting car ride, LOCKE is an exploration of how one decision can lead to the complete collapse of a life. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Steven Knight (EASTERN PROMISES, DIRTY PRETTY THINGS) and driven by an unforgettable performance by Tom Hardy, LOCKE is a thrillingly unique cinematic experience of a man fighting to salvage all that is important to him.”
