"Best Film of the Year" - National Board Of Review

Four Golden Globe Nominations including Best Picture

From director Danny Boyle (28 DAYS LATER, TRAINSPOTTING) comes a surprising and brilliant excursion into Bollywood.

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"

But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions.

Intrigued by Jamal's story, the jaded Police Inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this game show?

When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out...

"Driven by fantastic energy and a torrent of vivid images of India old and new, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is a blast. As drama and as a look at a country increasingly entering the world spotlight, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is a vital piece of work by an outsider who’s clearly connected with the place." - Todd McCarthy, Variety

"Danny Boyle's most ambitious film to date is also his greatest. Simply put, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE in one of the best -- if not the best -- films of 2008, as teeming with life as the slums it depicts." - Boxoffice Magazine

"A sharp, teeming, dark, very romantic film. Despite its elements of brutality, this is a buoyant hymn to life, and a movie to celebrate." - Richard Corliss, Time

"There's never been anything like this densely detailed phantasmagoria -- groundbreaking in substance, damned near earth-shaking in style." - Peter Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
