The world of legendary writer J.D. Salinger is brought vividly to life in this revealing look at the experiences that shaped one of the most renowned, controversial, and enigmatic authors of our time. Set amidst the colorful backdrop of mid-20th century New York City, this biopic follows a young Salinger (Nicholas Hoult, Mad Max: Fury Road) as he struggles to find his voice, pursues a love affair with famed socialite Oona O’Neill (Zoey Deutch, Everybody Wants Some!!), and fights on the front lines of World War II. It’s these experiences that will inform the creation of his masterpiece, The Catcher in the Rye, bringing him overnight fame (and notoriety) and leading him to withdraw from the public eye for the rest of his life. Costarring Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey (American Beauty) and Golden Globe winner Sarah Paulson (FX’s The People vs. O.J. Simpson), Rebel in the Rye offers a tantalizing window into the life and times of a little-understood genius who broke the rules and redefined American literature.
