ROOM tells the extraordinary story of Jack, a spirited 5-year-old who is looked after by
his loving and devoted mother. Like any good mother, Ma dedicates herself to keeping Jack
happy and safe, nurturing him with warmth and love and doing typical things like playing games
and telling stories. Their life, however, is anything but typical--they are trapped--confined to a
windowless, 10-by-10-foot space that Ma has euphemistically named Room. Ma has created a
whole universe for Jack within Room, and she will stop at nothing to ensure that, even in this
treacherous environment, Jack is able to live a complete and fulfilling life. But as Jack's curiosity
about their situation grows, and Ma's resilience reaches its breaking point, they enact a risky
plan to escape, ultimately bringing them face-to-face with what may turn out to be the scariest
thing yet: the real world.
