UNLOCK THE SECRET…  Academy Award-winning filmmaker Martin Scorsese directs this audacious adaptation of Brian Selznick’s award winning novel, Hugo – a magical, mysterious adventure and an exhilarating ode to cinema itself.

Hugo Cabret is an orphan, living secretly in the walls of a Paris train station, tending to the many clocks, stealing what he needs to survive and hiding from the ruthless station inspector.  But his clandestine life and precious secrets are threatened when he is caught thieving by the bitter old man who runs a toy booth at the station, and Hugo’s world becomes enmeshed with that of the shop owner and his bookish granddaughter.  A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a mechanical man, and a hidden message from Hugo’s dead father are all connected to a place where dreams are made.

A heartfelt love letter to the magic of moving pictures, Hugo is a triumph of imaginative movie making and a gift for film-lovers everywhere.

“Both a joyful and enchanting adventure tale and a loving tribute to the early days of cinema and one of its neglected pioneers.” – Jason Best, Movie Talk

“This movie is magic and it honors all those magicians like Martin Scorcese who make dreams we can all share.” – Robert Roten, Laramie Movie Scope
