Adapted from the
novel by Eleanor Henderson, TEN THOUSAND SAINTS is a coming-of-age
story about three teenagers in late 1980s New York City—Jude (Asa Butterfield),
new to the city from Vermont, “straight-edge” musician Johnny (Emile Hirsch),
and troubled, rich uptown girl Eliza (Hailee Steinfeld)—who break away from
their messed-up parents (Ethan Hawke and Emily Mortimer) to form their own
surrogate family. Set in 1988, a time of great cultural upheaval—against
the excesses of the decade, the AIDS epidemic and the gentrification of the
city culminating in the infamous Tompkins Square Park riots—TEN THOUSAND
SAINTS is a nostalgia trip to a bygone era of New York City.
