The extraordinary story of a 13-year-old orphan who lives behind the clock in a Paris train station in 1931. Based on the Caldecott-winning children’s novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznick, the film emerges as a spectacular adventure for film lovers of all ages. In a twist on Treasure Island, Hugo discovers his prize in the form of a reclusive film pioneer, Georges Méliès, who runs the station’s toy booth. It’s Hugo, with the help of Isabelle, who reintroduces Méliès to life and art.
