As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to find their compassion and acceptance, Auggie's extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.
Based on the New York Times bestseller by R.J. Palacio, the movie stars Jacob Tremblay as Auggie, and Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson as his parents. Mandy Patinkin, Sonia Braga and Ali Liebert are also in the cast for of the movie, which is directed by Stephen Chbosky and penned by Steve Conrad and Jack Thorne.
