Plots(1)
On a moonlit rooftop above New York City, Lyla (Keri Russell) a sheltered young cello player, and Louis (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) a charismatic Irish singer-songwriter, are drawn together through a love of music, and instantly fall in love. Their connection is real and undeniable, but short-lived. Torn apart, they leave in their wake a newborn child, orphaned by circumstance, and unknown to his parents. Drawn to New York twelve years later in search of his parents, August Rush (Freddie Highmore), a young orphan and musical prodigy, is taken under the wing of an eccentric busker known only as Wizard (Robin Williams). Steadfast in the belief that his parents are alive, August embraces his incredible gift, calling out to them through every note. Separated by fate but bonded together by love and music, Lyla, Louis and August search for what will make their lives complete again - each other. (Beyond Home Entertainment)
