In the twisty, stylish crime thriller CRIME 101, Davis (Chris Hemsworth) is an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists have mystified police. He’s planning his biggest ever score — hoping it’ll be his last — when his path collides with Sharon (Halle Berry), a disillusioned insurance executive whom he’s forced to work with, and Orman (Barry Keoghan), a rival thief with far more disturbing methods than Davis's. As the multi-million dollar heist approaches, relentless detective Lt. Lubesnik (Mark Ruffalo) closes in on the operation, raising the stakes even higher, and the line between hunter and hunted starts to blur. Each of them is soon forced to confront the cost of their respective choices — and the realization that there's no turning back.

Intended as a Tiger Moth replacement, the De Havilland Chipmunk’s excellent handling qualities and fighter plane looks have earned it the nickname “The poor man’s Spitfire.” Today, the Royal Air Force still uses it to prepare modern jet pilots to fly its vintage Spitfires and Hurricanes. Chipmunk WZ865 rolled off the production line in 1953, starting 22 years of service as an RAF trainer. 70 years and 6000 flight hours later it returned to the skies in New Zealand, reborn in its original service colours after a meticulous and authentic restoration. Poor Man’s Spitfire is more than the story of one aeroplane. It’s an insight into the world of warbird restoration, the characters who make it happen and the pilots past and present lucky enough to fly aeroplanes built with World War 2 technology. The film follows Chipmunk WZ865 from its purchase as an unassembled life-sized Airfix kit to a fully aerobatic RAF trainer taking centre stage at this year’s Warbirds Over Wānaka. The Thursday the 2nd April showing is a public premiere of Poor Man’s Spitfire and will feature a Q&A with pilot / owner Vaughn Davis and Warbirds Over Wānaka commentator Grant Stewart. Vaughn is an ex-RNZAF C130 pilot who now works in advertising and appears regularly in media, including RNZ’s “Ask the Pilot”. He flies Chipmunks and Tiger Moths with NZ Warbirds, including display flying, type rating training and commercial adventure rides. Grant is also ex-RNZAF, and after leaving the service learned to fly in the USA. Grant works as a helicopter safety manager in New Zealand and Antarctica, leads the Warbirds Over Wānaka commentary team and in his spare time flies a Chipmunk.
