A birthday celebration that culminated in a trip to catch the blockbuster movie The Twilight Saga: New Moon could land an American woman in prison for three years.

Samantha Tumpach captured three minutes of the film on her video-camera while taping part of her sister's surprise party at a theatre in Chicago.

Theatre managers contacted police, who arrested Tumpach.

The 22 year-old spent two days in jail, and now faces a felony charge of illegally copying a movie.
