The Cinema

Follow this detailed walkthrough for The Cinema mission in A Way Out, guiding you through phone calls, barricades, puzzles, and combat sequences to defeat the shooter.

At the cinema, Vincent needs to make a phone call. He discovers he needs change for the phonebooth. To get change, go to the newspaper stand opposite the cinema. Either option with the cashier works. Return to the phonebooth and make the call. While Vincent is on the phone, Leo can interact with people outside the cinema.

After the call, a cutscene plays, ending with an enemy firing at you. Vincent and Leo take cover inside the cinema. A running sequence follows. Head down the hallway and through a door. One character must hold the door closed while the other pushes a filing cabinet to barricade it, temporarily stopping the shooter. This is a timed sequence.

In the next room, a movable structure resembling a boat sits between two platforms. One character pushes the platform to the right while the other gets on. The first character then pushes the platform to the other side. The second character follows a walkway to a yellow rope and crates. The second character kneels and extends a hand to be pulled up by the first character.

With both characters on the upper level, go to the yellow vent. Both characters must pull it open together and enter the vent to another room. The shooter will fire while you are on the catwalk. Stay near the cover of a movable metal rail. Both characters grab the rail and move with it for cover.

Reach the controls marked "control platform." One character operates the metal rail while the other uses it for cover. Stay crouched and close to cover; popping up will result in being shot. At the end of the rail, the character not controlling it can jump down to ambush the shooter.

A QTE sequence follows. The character not in the fight enters, and all three fall to the ground. One character finds a rope, and both characters choke the shooter by pulling the rope from each side. Tap the prompted button as fast as possible, ensuring both characters complete a full circle to kill the shooter. The mission concludes with a cutscene.
