Based on the Caldecott Medal winning novel by Brian Selznick and directed by the acclaimed Martin Scorsese.

Hugo (Asa Butterfield) is an orphan boy living in the walls of a train station in 1930's Paris. He learned to fix clocks and other gadgets from his father (Jude Law) and uncle (Ray Winstone) which he puts to use keeping the train station clocks running. The only thing that he has left that connects him to his dead father is an automaton (mechanical man) that doesn't work without a special key which Hugo needs to find to unlock the secret he believes it contains.

On his adventures, he meets with a shopkeeper, George Melies (Ben Kingsley), who works in the train station and his adventure-seeking god-daughter, Isabelle (Chloë Grace Moretz). Hugo finds that they have a surprising connection to his father and the automaton, and he discovers it unlocks some memories the old man has buried inside regarding his past.
Industry Reviews
'Being a hardcore cinephile (like Scorsese) might add a layer of enjoyment, but it certainly isn't a prerequisite for walking in the door. A sense of wonder, however, is.' - Christy Lemire, Associated Press

'You can practically feel time stop in sync with the audience's halted breath. It's nothing short of wizardry.' - Simon Miraudo, Quickflix

'Hugo is a pleasurable love letter to the art of film-making and a tribute to the early days of cinema.' - Francesca Rudkin, New Zealand Herald

'I can't imagine loving movies and not loving Hugo.' - Eleanor Ringel Cater, Saporta Report

'If ever the movie gods were to smile on an adaptation, it would be Scorsese's take on Selznick's bestselling book, a valentine to the cinematic artists whose work the filmmaker has toiled so tirelessly to champion and preserve.' - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
