Synopsis: It is 1931, and twelve-year-old Hugo Cabret, the orphaned son of a clockmaker, lives in secret in a forgotten room in the Paris train station so the authorities wont realize he is now on his own. He is terrified of being caught and sent away, but his greatest secret is the automaton his beloved father discovered in a museum attica mechanical man which, when fixed properly, will write a secret message. Convinced that the note will give him a link to his father, Hugo steals windup mechanical parts from a toymaker in the station and attempts to fix the automaton by following the sketches and instructions in his fathers notebook. But when the toymaker, a bitter old man with a mysterious past, catches him and confiscates the notebook, Hugos attempts to reclaim it begin to unravel the decades-old mystery of the long-lost automaton.
