Set against the anti-war protests,
rock & roll revolution, and mind-expanding psychedelia of the 1960s,
Julie Taymor's hallucinogenic
musical follows the arduous journey of star-crossed lovers
Jude (
Jim Sturgess) and
Lucy (
Evan Rachel Wood) as they and a small group of musicians are swept up in the raging waters of the volatile counterculture movement. Guided through their journey by a pair known only as
Dr. Robert (
Bono) and
Mr. Kite (
Eddie Izzard),
Jude and
Lucy are eventually forced to find their way back to one another after being split apart by powerful forces beyond their control. The music in the film consists exclusively of songs made popular by
the Beatles during the time period depicted in the movie.

from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
An Anti-War Era Musical.
Director Julie Taymor takes you back in time to the latter-half of the turbulent '60s to a time when the battle lines were being drawn at home and abroad. The movie features hit songs by the Beatles and it stars Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess as two star-crossed lovers, who become involved in the growing anti-war movement in New York's Greenwich Village. With Joe Anderson, Dana Fuchs, Martin Luther McCoy, Bono, T.V. Carpio, Spencer Liff, Eddie Izzard, Michael Ryan, Amanda Cole, Nicholas Lumley, and Bill Irwin.
