Synopsis for Hugo:Winner of 5 Academy Awards! Nominated for 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Martin Scorsese), Hugo tells the story of an orphan boy (Asa Butterfield) living a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station. With the help of an eccentric girl (Chloë Grace Moretz), he searches for the answer to a mystery linking the father he recently lost, the ill-tempered toy shop owner living below him and a heart shaped lock, seemingly without a key. Based on Brian Selznick's award winning and imaginative New York Times bestseller The Invention of Hugo Cabret, this magical tale also stars Jude Law, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Kingsley, Christopher Lee and Emily Mortimer.
"Instead of sticking with the familiar, Scorsese has followed his impulses into something that feels entirely new but is still distinctively his. He has made a potential holiday classic, an exciting, comic and sentimental melodrama that will satisfy children and adults alike and reward repeat viewings for many years to come."—Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
"An exhilarating tale of magic, machines, memories, and dreams, Martin Scorsese pulls off the neatest trick of all. He marshals the marvels of modern movie technology — up to and including the dreaded 3-D — to create a love letter to the earliest of movies and, by extension, to every movie from then to now."—Ty Burr, Boston Globe
"The way Hugo deals with Melies is enchanting in itself, but the film's first half is devoted to the escapades of its young hero. In the way the film uses CGI and other techniques to create the train station and the city, the movie is breathtaking."—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
