The first show is the appropriately titled police thriller Union Station (1950) starring William Holden as a railroad police officer trying to track a kidnapper.
Though it was partly filmed in Los Angeles, the story takes place in Chicago.
Check out the trailer for glimpses of Union Station:
The upcoming films in the series include Criss Cross on Nov. 4 and Too Late for Tears on Dec. 2. Writer, historian, film programmer and film noir expert Alan K. Rode curated the Film Noir series and will introduce the first film.
All screenings are free and take place at the old ticketing hall on a first come, first serve basis. Each film begins at 8 p.m.
