OCALA, Florida - "Wild Hogs” starring John Travolta, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy, is an action-packed comic drama about men, motorcycles and mid-life crises. Travolta, Allen, Lawrence and Macy star as four frustrated suburbanites who try to rev up their middle-aged lives by hitting the open road as would-be renegade bikers.

John Travolta held the Ocala opening of Wild Hogs on March 2nd as a fundraiser for the Ocala Film Commission and The Marion Theatre. While planning that premiere, tornados struck the North Central Florida area and John and Kelly wanted to do something for the local victims and included them in the event. John and Kelly Travolta personally matched the $15,000 raised for the victim’s of the Lady Lake, Florida tornados bringing the total to $30,000. Additional money was raised for the film commission and the theatre and Ocala had an opportunity to show just how they feel about Wild Hogs and the Travoltas.
