Welcome

Welcome to the Tors Drive-In, Charters Towers, Queensland. We are one of the oldest drive-in theatres in Queensland, and have been open continuously since 1966! Come along to see the lastest movies and recapture some of the nostalgia of the drive-in era. You'll always get double features at the Tors for less than the price of a single movie at other cinemas and we have the best hot food and candy bar in town at the lowest prices!

Please follow the links on the left of the screen to see which movies are now showing, what's coming soon, other general information and our contact details.

To read some history about the Tors Drive-In and see some photos, see the "About Us" section.
