official description

A cinematic mash-up, Danny Boyle's fusion of Bollywood style with kinetic, cutting-edge Western filmmaking technique focuses on Jamal, a poor, irrepressible youth who is set loose in the world along with his brother Salim—and a charming, bright-eyed girl named Latika—upon the death of his mother. Split apart by crime and tragedy, the three are brought together again years later when Jamal appears on India's version of the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and amazingly finds himself on the verge of winning the grand prize—but how can a "slumdog" with no formal education possibly know the answers to the increasingly complex questions? A cinematic rollercoaster ride, Slumdog Millionaire was a triumphant worldwide success and the surprise winner of the Academy Award® for Best Picture.
