Acclaimed filmmaker Barry Levinson (RAIN MAN) returns to his hometown of Baltimore, the setting of his DINER, AVALON, TIN MEN, and HOMICIDE films. The result is LIBERTY HEIGHTS, a warmly funny, semi-autobiographical tale told with an uncompromising eye for period detail and eye-filling scale that includes 4,000 extras. The year is 1954, a season of dramatic social flux that Levinson explores through the eyes of a Jewish family, the Kurtzmans (Adrien Brody, Ben Foster, Joe Mantegna, Bebe Neuwirth). Friendship, romance, rock-n- roll, courage, racism, Cadillacs, Halloween (should a nice Jewish boy dress up as Hitler?): the times are indeed changing. The Kurtzmans and America will never be the same.
