Asa Butterfield stars in Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Brian Selznick's award-winning novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret. The film tells the story of Hugo, an orphan boy living in a Parisian train station after his father's tragic death in a fire. Forced to live with his drunken uncle, Hugo takes on the responsibility of winding the station's clocks. However, when his uncle disappears, Hugo must maintain the clocks on his own while avoiding detection as a squatter.

Hugo's talent for engineering leads him to steal gears, tools, and other items from a toy-shop owner, Georges, who has a storefront in the station. These stolen pieces are essential for Hugo to rebuild a mechanical man that his father once cared for at the museum. Georges, played by Ben Kingsley, eventually catches Hugo in the act of thievery and threatens to turn him over to the station's police officer, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, who is notorious for sending parentless children to the orphanage.

Despite their rocky start, Hugo forms a friendship with Georges' goddaughter, Isabelle, portrayed by Chloe Grace Moretz. Unbeknownst to her, Isabelle possesses the final item needed to make the mechanical man work again, bringing the story full circle. Through their shared experiences and adventures, Hugo and Isabelle uncover secrets that ultimately lead to a heartwarming and touching conclusion.

Overall, The Invention of Hugo Cabret is a captivating and visually stunning film that explores themes of friendship, loss, and the power of imagination. With a talented cast and masterful direction from Scorsese, the movie is a true cinematic gem that will leave a lasting impression on audiences of all ages.
