EZRA is a comic drama about the relationship between Max Brandel (BOBBY CANNAVALE), a formerly successful late-night comedy writer turned not-so-successful stand-up comic, and his brilliant but complicated 9-year-old son Ezra, who struggles with autism. Having recently blown up both his career and his marriage, Max now lives with his father, Stan (ROBERT DE NIRO), a gifted chef whose eccentricities caused him to lose his restaurant and become a doorman. Max, profoundly at odds with his ex-wife and her new boyfriend about how to address their son’s needs, decides to

kidnap Ezra and take him on a cross-country odyssey, with hilariously disastrous results. Also starring Rose Byrne, Vera Farmiga, Rainn Wilson, Whoopi Goldberg and introducing William Fitzgerald.

Tony Spiridakis drew from his experiences of parenthood and raising a neurodiverse child to write EZRA and teamed up with lifelong friend Tony Goldwyn to tell this funny, at times devastating, all-around heart-warming and honest tale of a deep connection between father and son and the lengths we will go to ensure those we love can be their happiest, truest selves.
