National Geographic's film "Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West," opened Saturday, Nov. 10. at the Big Green Screen Theatre, located at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center. The movie details the adventures of two of America's greatest explorers; Meriweather Lewis and William Clark.

The film chronicles a group of explorers, led by Lewis and Clark, into uncharted territory to find a water passageway to the Pacific Ocean and discover new species of plants and animals in the west. Along their nearly two-and-a-half-year journey, Lewis and Clark encounter many challenges and expand the nation of the United States.

"We are excited to have this film back after it debuted here seven years ago," said Mary Jo Rutkowski, environmental community relations specialist, "The new digital format is so clear and crisp it will make you feel like you are actually on the expedition with Lewis and Clark."

Now if that doesn't get you excited, I'm sure this will: The film is narrated by Academy-Award winner Jeff Bridges.

"Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West" is now showing daily at the Big Screen Theatre at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
