| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Adapted from the landmark novel by Richard Yates, REVOLUTIONARY
ROAD is an incisive portrait of an American marriage seen
through the eyes of Frank (three-time Academy Award® nominee
Leonardo DiCaprio) and April (five-time Academy Award®
nominee Kate Winslet) Wheeler. Yates’ story of 1950’s
America poses a question that has been reverberating through
modern relationships ever since: can two people break away
from the ordinary without breaking apart?
Frank and April have always seen themselves as special, different,
ready and willing to live their lives based on higher ideals.
So, as soon as they move into their new house on Revolutionary
Road, they proudly declare their independence from the suburban
inertia that surrounds them and determine never to be trapped
by the social confines of their era.
Yet for all their charm, beauty and irreverence, the Wheelers
find themselves becoming exactly what they didn’t expect:
a good man with a routine job whose nerve has gone missing;
a less-than-happy homemaker starving for fulfillment and passion;
an American family with lost dreams, like any other.
Driven to change their fates, April hatches an audacious
plan to start all over again, to leave the comforts of Connecticut
behind for the great unknown of Paris. But when the plan is
put in motion, each spouse is pushed to extremes – one
to escape whatever the cost, the other to save all that they
have, no matter the compromises.
