Synopsis
An Academy Award nominee for Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor (Max Von Sydow), Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close tells the story of one young boy’s journey from heartbreaking loss to self-discovery, set against the backdrop of the tragic events of September 11. Eleven-year-old Oskar Schell (Thomas Horn) is an exceptional child: amateur inventor, Francophile, pacifist. And after finding a mysterious key that belonged to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11, he embarks on an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. As Oskar roams the city, he encounters a variety of individuals, all survivors in their own way. Ultimately, Oskar’s journey ends where it began, but with the solace of that most human experience: community. Directed by Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Reader, The Hours), Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close also stars Sandra Bullock, Tom Hanks, James Gandolfini, Viola Davis and John Goodman.
