Based on the award-winning novel, Revolutionary Road follows the hopes and aspirations of the Wheelers, a young couple living in Connecticut. Entrapped under the social confines they so desperately tried to avoid, the Wheelers hatch a plan to leave Connecticut behind for the great unknown of Paris. But when the plan is put in motion, each spouse is pushed to extremes – one to escape whatever the cost, the other to save all that they have, no matter what the compromise.
