Kingsman: The Secret Service | 20th Century Fox

Hey, you. Want an early look at a new spy movie? Shh, it’s kind of a secret.

Uber and 20th Century Fox have teamed up to offer a free screening of “Kingsman: The Secret Service” on Thursday.

The ride-hailing service announced the ticket giveaway on its blog Monday. Users have until 10 a.m. Thursday to enter to win tickets by sending a special city code. The company will email the winners.

The companies are having 50 screenings in 50 cities. Riders in Chicago and eight other cities also have the chance to win special swag and make a grand entrance with the Kingsman Vehicle Experience.
