Description
Moonrise Kingdom was the Opening Night film at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2012.
Moonrise Kingdom is set in 1965 on an island off the coast of New England.
It's the end of the summer and the seasonal hurricanes loom on the horizon.
Set
against this background is a romance between two twelve-year-olds: Lucy
Bishop, (who lives on the island with her parents [Bill Murray and
Frances McDormand] and three younger brothers) and Sam (an orphan who is
camping on the island with the Khaki Scout troop).
Lucy and Sam
hatch a secret plan to run away, and undertake a perilous journey though
the woods and across the streams that criss-cross the island, to an
isolated cove, where they set up their kingdom. They are pursued by the
local sheriff (Bruce Willis) and the scout troop leader Scout Master
Ward (Edward Norton).
The follies of youth are matched by the
compromises of age, and as the conflict between the generations
escalates, the hurricane breaks upon the island putting all the
characters at risk...
