The RAF Partners with Cineworld to Launch Groundbreaking "Thrill Seekers" Film Season

Mar. 11, 2025

The "Thrill Seekers" Film Season, is set to bring back some of the most iconic action films of all time to the big screen, immersing audiences in the action. The partnership was conceived and brokered by OmniGOV at MG OMD and Digital Cinema Media (DCM).

Launching on 12 March, this media-first, thematically curated film series will span three action-packed weeks, featuring nearly 300 exclusive film screenings across Cineworld’s entire estate.

Each week, audiences will be treated to a different classic, including Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Inception, and John Wick taking centre stage.

As part of the partnership, the RAF’s Hero 60” recruitment ad, ‘The Force Protecting Space’, will run in the Gold Spot premium position across all screenings. This will be accompanied by a bespoke co-branded ‘Thrill Seeker’ ident, seamlessly integrating the RAF’s message of adventure, challenge and pushing boundaries into the ultimate action film experience. 

To amplify the campaign’s reach, Cineworld will roll out a suite of co-branded marketing assets across social media, display, and CRM channels. Additionally, for the first time, Cineworld will introduce exclusive co-branded popcorn bags, available in cinemas throughout March as part of the high-impact promotional effort.

Wg Cdr Tracey Broome, RAF said: 

“We are delighted to partner with Cineworld in this ground-breaking series, which will showcase our Force Protecting Space recruitment ad alongside some truly legendary action movies. The Royal Air Force offers a wide range of exciting careers with the opportunity for adventure and we believe our ‘Thrill Seekers’ partnership reflects that.”
