The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

DramaFantasyRomance166 min

Born looking like an old man and growing younger with each passing year, Benjamin Button moves through the 20th century out of step with everyone around him. As he leaves a New Orleans nursing home and makes a life on tugboats, in far-off ports, and in wartime, he keeps crossing paths with Daisy, a dancer whose life moves in the ordinary direction. Their bond deepens and changes as time pulls them into opposite seasons at once. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett anchor a story built on that strange clock, where love, family, and loss are shaped by the fact that Benjamin can never meet the people he loves at the same age for long.
