Hugo

Step into a world filled with magical adventures! Hugo, a clever and resourceful young boy, unravels a mystery from his father's past, setting off on a transformative journey that will touch the hearts of those around him and lead him to a place filled with safety and love.

Academy Award®-winning director Martin Scorsese invites you to join Hugo as he embarks on a thrilling quest that critics have described as "the stuff that dreams are made of." With Asa Butterfield portraying the charming orphan Hugo Cabret, Scorsese captures the essence of his passion for the silver screen in this movie that celebrates the magic of cinema, enhanced by spectacular 3-D effects.

After Hugo's father tragically passes away in a museum fire, he finds himself living with his neglectful uncle Claude at a Paris train station. Taking on his father's role as the station's clock caretaker, Hugo supports himself by stealing food and secretly works to repair an automaton that holds a special connection to his past. Along the way, he navigates the challenges of evading the strict station inspector, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, a war veteran with no tolerance for mischief.

Hugo's life takes a dramatic turn when he crosses paths with Georges, a kind-hearted toymaker portrayed by Ben Kingsley, who offers him a chance for redemption by becoming his apprentice. In the midst of this new opportunity, Hugo forms a close bond with Georges' goddaughter, Isabelle (Chloë Moretz), and together they uncover the hidden treasures of a motion-picture museum with the help of a wise bookseller (Christopher Lee) and a film scholar (Michael Stuhlbarg).

As they delve into the secrets of the automaton and explore the history of cinema, Hugo and his newfound friends pay homage to the pioneers of filmmaking, shedding light on the importance of preserving cinematic treasures. Through this captivating tale, Scorsese's adaptation of The Invention of Hugo Cabret showcases a blend of his cinematic expertise and heartfelt storytelling, making it a truly personal and poignant masterpiece.
