''Hugo'' is a 2011 adventure film directed by Creator/MartinScorsese, written by Creator/JohnLogan and produced by Creator/JohnnyDepp. It is based on the Caldecott Medal-winning children's novel ''The Invention Of Hugo Cabret'' by Brian Selznick, grandnephew of legendary film producer David O. Selznick. The film is notable for being Scorsese's first family-oriented film as well as his first shot in [[UsefulNotes/ThreeDMovie 3D]], and is considered Scorsese's love letter to [[SilenceIsGolden silent cinema]].
The film stars Creator/AsaButterfield as Hugo Cabret, an orphan boy who lives in a train station in 1930s Paris and whose only companion is an automaton discovered by his late father. He devotes his life to making sure the clocks run on time and to gradually repairing the automaton, under the belief that the message it is designed to write is a message from his father.
One day, he gets caught stealing a toy from Papa Georges (Sir Creator/BenKingsley), a melancholy man who runs a toy store inside the station. He finds the notebook Hugo carries containing drawings of the automaton by his father. Papa Georges takes the notebook, threatening to burn it. With the help of Papa Georges' goddaughter Isabelle (Creator/ChloeGraceMoretz), Hugo tries to get the notebook back and use it to discover the secret of the automaton. Along the way, he discovers the secret of Papa Georges, including his real name.
The film also stars Creator/SachaBaronCohen, Creator/ChristopherLee, Creator/JudeLaw, Creator/HelenMcCrory, Creator/RayWinstone, and [[Film/ASeriousMan Michael]] [[Series/BoardwalkEmpire Stuhlbarg]].
Brian Selznick also wrote a companion book to the film, ''The Hugo Movie Companion'', about how his novel was adapted to the screen.
