Oskar (Thomas Horn), who lost his father (Tom Hanks) in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, is convinced that his dad left a final message for him somewhere in New York City. Upon finding a mysterious key in his father's closet, Oskar sets out in search of the lock that it fits.

Users Reviews

Weird family, weird film, weird day.
For some reason I was expecting a 9/11 documentary. I wish it would focus more on the events of that day.
Book Gone Bad
Too much sentimentality in this adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's novel. Most of the cast is wasted, and I found it hard relating to the main character.
Likely to see
Not for me
