August Rush
DramaFamilyMusical114 min
Musically gifted orphan Evan runs away to New York believing the sounds around him can lead him to the parents he has never known. Freddie Highmore is the boy, who is pulled into the orbit of Robin Williams’s Wizard, a street hustler living in an abandoned theater who gives him the name August Rush and turns his talent into an act. As Evan follows music through parks, streets, and rehearsal rooms, his birth parents — Keri Russell’s cellist Lyla and guitarist Louis (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) — are searching in their own separate ways.
