Living in South Africa can feel a bit like a movie sometimes, with bizarre plot twists and surprise guest appearances – but our ‘Beyond the Illusion’ movie blocks each Saturday this month take that to another level! Transcend reality, delve into deception and explore a world where nothing is truly ever as it seems. Whether it’s Christian Bale as John Connor taking on T-800 in Terminator Salvation, Jim Carrey living a reality show in The Truman Show, or Arnold Schwarzenegger forced into a battle for his life in the classic The Running Man, this is altered reality on a whole new level.

In South Africa, we celebrate our heritage with a public holiday – and this year, we get a bonus Monday break too! TNT has you covered with a fantastic comedy film lineup that takes you from the ridiculous to the absurd via the madcap and the strange. It’s the perfect blend of family fun for a well-deserved – and respected – holiday break.
We celebrate the amazing talent of Africa’s Djimon Hounsou this month with a dedicated ‘fan day’ featuring some of his best-known work. The Beninese-born actor won acclaim in Steven Spielberg’s Amistad in 1997, and he’s continued to captivate fans for the last quarter of a century in star turns in films like the ones we’ve lined up on 17 September. Watch out for two channel premieres in Biker Boyz and The Legend of Tarzan!
