Stand-up comic Max (Bobby Cannavale) and his precocious 11-year-old autistic son Ezra take off on an unsanctioned road trip in this heartfelt comedy.

Having recently blown up his career and his marriage, Max is living with his eccentric father Stan (Robert De Niro) and is profoundly at odds with his soon-to-be ex-wife Jenna (Rose Byrne) about how to address their son's special needs. When Ezra is expelled from yet another school, a doctor insists he be sent to a special program elsewhere and be medicated, which Jenna is inclined to go along with. But Max will have none of it and makes the controversial decision to take Ezra in the middle of the night without Jenna's permission, embarking on a cross-country odyssey to a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! 

Part unpredictable family dramedy and part road movie, Ezra features Whoopi Goldberg, Vera Farmiga, Rainn Wilson and director Tony Goldwyn in its astonishing ensemble cast. Irresistibly charming, this is big-hearted storytelling at its finest.
