Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

A nine-year-old boy embarks on a quest to solve the mystery of an old key.

Oskar Schell remembers September 11, 2001, well - "the worst day" - when he lost his beloved father Thomas. They used to play a scavenger hunt game called Reconnaissance Expedition, which involved looking for clues throughout New York City. An old key found in a smashed vase sparks Oskar's imagination and the youngster becomes convinced that Thomas had left him a clue from beyond the grave. He embarks on an odyssey to learn the history of the key accompanied by the mute, elderly man, who rents a room in his grandmother's apartment.
