The Francis Crick Institute presents a special screening of record-breaking blockbuster Black Panther.

After the death of his father, T'Challa returns home to the African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. When a powerful enemy suddenly reappears, T'Challa's mettle as king – and as Black Panther – gets tested when he's drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk.

Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people.

Explore the themes of the film after the screening in a discussion and audience Q&A featuring Crick scientists Christina Dix from the Crick's Making Lab, and Lucia Prieto-Godino, a neuroscientist who works to promote scientific research in Africa.
