It is the mid-1960s, and Jude (Jim Sturgess) is stuck in a dead-end job in Liverpool–until he leaves his girlfriend (Lisa Hogg), and his mother (Angela Mounsey) behind when he gets a job as a deck hand and sails to America. Once there, he makes friends with Max (Joe Anderson) and falls in love with Max's sister Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood). Now living in Greenwich Village with Max, Jude and his circle of friends deal with anti-war protests, race riots, and rock 'n roll. The film's theme is based on songs made popular by the Beatles during that same time period. An Academy Award nomination for Best Costume Design was received
