About the Movie
The Greatest Showman is an exuberant musical drama inspired by the imagination of legendary visionary P. T. Barnum. Rising from humble beginnings following the loss of his shipping clerk job, Barnum (Academy Award nominee Hugh Jackman) embarks on a courageous mission to provide a wonderful life for his devoted wife Charity (Michelle Williams) and their two daughters. He mortgages his dream to open a Manhattan museum of curiosities, quickly realizing that audiences crave the extraordinary and alive. Recruiting unique performers and societal outcasts, including bearded lady Lettie Lutz (Keala Settle) and trapeze duo Anne (Zendaya) and W. D. Wheeler (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), Barnum invents modern show business under the big top.
With playwright Phillip Carlyle (Zac Efron) joining as business partner, the circus achieves unprecedented commercial fame. However, Barnum's relentless thirst for aristocratic validation leads him to risk everything on a nationwide tour with Swedish opera sensation Jenny Lind (Rebecca Ferguson), alienating his loyal performers and endangering his family. After disaster strikes, Barnum must rediscover what truly matters: the acceptance, love, and humanity of the unique family he brought together.
