The Johnson Firm is offering free tickets to all showings of the “King of Kings” movie at Cinemark Lake Charles at Prien Lake Mall on Thursday.

“We believe in supporting meaningful experiences that uplift and inspire our community. ‘King of Kings’ is a powerful presentation of faith, hope and the story of Easter,” the firm said. “This is our way of saying thank you to the people of Southwest Louisiana and sharing in a message that brings families together and reminds us of the values that matter most.”

“The King of Kings” is an animated Christian film written loosely inspired by the children’s book “The Life of Our Lord” by Charles Dickens. In the film, Dickens attempts to perform a recital of “A Christmas Carol” before a theater audience, only to be constantly interrupted by his overly rambunctious son Walter, who very noisily acts out the exploits of King Arthur backstage with the aid of his rotund feline sidekick. The performance ruined, Dickens considers punishing the boy, but his wife Catherine suggests the writer instead try to lure Walter away from his obsession with the Round Table by offering him another story about a king even greater than Arthur — the “King of Kings,”Jesus Christ.

The Johnson Firm said tickets will be available at the cinema on a first-come, first-served basis for all showings of “King of Kings” on Thursday.

Showtimes are at noon, 12:30 p.m., 2:45 p.m., 3:15 p.m. 5:30 p.m, 6 p.m., 8:15 p.m. and 8:45 p.m.

“Join us in celebrating this season of renewal — we’re honored to help you be a part of it,” the firm said.
