Based on a true story, Angelina Jolie stars as Christine Collins, a single mother in 1928 Los Angeles whose son Walter goes missing.  Over the course of the following months, Christine launches a search that proves fruitless. Yet, just when it seems all hope is lost, a nine-year-old boy claiming to be her son appears out of thin air.

 

Overcome with emotions and uncertain how to face the authorities or the press, Christine invites the child to stay in her home despite knowing, without a doubt, that he is not her son. However, unable to accept the injustice being pushed upon her, Christine battles for justice against the corrupt L.A.P.D continuing to search for her missing son.
