A 27-year-old man was horrifically injured in an acid attack after a screening of hip-hop film Straight Outta Compton.
The victim was left with "potentially life-changing" injuries after the sickening assault outside Cineworld in Crawley, West Sussex.
When he left the cinema, he was approached in the car park and had acid thrown over him.
The victim, from Redhill, Surrey, was rushed to East Surrey Hospital for treatment but because of "potentially life-changing injuries" from the corrosive liquid, he was transferred to the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead for specialist care.
A Sussex Police spokesman: "It is thought the incident may have started when the victim and another man, 29, also from Redhill, were watching Straight Outta Compton in the cinema."
Detective Sergeant Laura Diamond, of Crawley CID, said: "This was an isolated but nevertheless nasty and unprovoked assault."
The movie Straight Outta Compton tells the story of the rise and fall of the hip-hop group NWA from the notorious South Central suburb of Compton, California.
It charts the rise of West Coast rappers Eazy-E, Ice Cube, DJ Yella, MC Ren and Dr Dre.
The suspected assailants are two white men in their late 20s or early 30s. One had dark short hair and beard and was wearing a bag across his shoulder.
The other was wearing a white or light grey hoody and jeans. Both were in a dark-coloured Peugeot car.
