- Synopsis
- Mud is a stirring drama from multi award-winning director Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter – Grand Prize at Cannes Critics Week, Grand Prize at Deauville, Best International Feature at Zurich). Mud stars Matthew McConaughey, Academy Award® Winner Reese Witherspoon and newcomer Tye Sheridan (The Tree of Life). Academy Award ® Nominee Michael Shannon (Take Shelter, Revolutionary Road) and the legendary Sam Shepard also joins the impressive cast. Mud is the story of an improbable friendship between 14-year old Ellis (Sheridan) and a charismatic fugitive named Mud (McConaughey). Exploring the nearby Mississippi river, Ellis and his best friend discover a deserted island where they encounter Mud, a dirty, desperate yet oddly compelling stranger. Mud is on the run for a crime of passion, and bounty hunters are closing in on him. Moved by the romantic notion of his story and intrigued by the promise of a great adventure, the boys conspire to aid Mud in his escape and reunite him with the love of his life, Juniper(Witherspoon). In the spirit of Stand By Me, Mud is an instant classic, a compelling tale of innocence lost and an undeniable testament to the power of love.
