Set in the gritty, punk-infused landscape of 1980s New York City, this coming-of-age drama follows teenager Jude Keffy-Horn, portrayed by Asa Butterfield, whose life unravels after a tragic event forces him to flee his Vermont home and move in with his estranged, free-spirited father Les, played by Ethan Hawke. Struggling to find his footing in the chaotic East Village, Jude becomes entangled with a group of rebellious straight-edge punks, including the magnetic and troubled Teddy, played by Emile Hirsch. As he navigates the treacherous waters of adolescence, Jude forms a deep bond with Eliza, played by Hailee Steinfeld, a strong-willed girl from his past who is grappling with her own secrets and losses. Directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, the film captures the raw energy and despair of a generation seeking meaning through music, friendship, and defiance. With a stellar cast including Emily Mortimer and Julianne Nicholson, Ten Thousand Saints is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the search for identity in a world that offers no easy answers.
