Peter (Hugh Jackman) finds his already-hectic life upended when his ex-wife (Laura Dern) appears to discuss their teenage son, Nicholas (Zen McGrath), who has been missing school for months and is deeply troubled. Peter strives to take care of Nicholas as he would have wanted his own father (Anthony Hopkins) to have taken care of him, but the rigors of raising a new son with Beth (Vanessa Kirby) and a new position at work makes him lose sight of how to hold onto Nicholas. THE SON is a compelling cautionary tale from director Florian Zeller (The Father) about a family struggling to reunite after falling apart.
