Revolutionary Road follows the lives of Frank and April Wheeler, a married couple living in the suburbs of Connecticut during the mid-1950s. Despite an initially happy marriage, they soon find themselves dissatisfied with their lives, as Frank struggles to find meaning in his dull office job and April yearns for a more fulfilling life than simply being a stay-at-home mother.
As their marriage begins to deteriorate, the couple becomes increasingly distant, with each feeling trapped by their current circumstances. Frank becomes involved in a secret affair with a co-worker, while April hatches a plan to move the family to Paris in an attempt to escape their suburban monotony.
Their plans, however, are derailed when April unexpectedly becomes pregnant again. This revelation leads to an emotional breakdown for both Frank and April, as they struggle to come to terms with the reality of their lives and the choices they have made.
Revolutionary Road is a poignant and powerful portrayal of the American Dream gone awry, exploring themes of marriage, identity, and the pursuit of happiness. Directed by Sam Mendes and starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, the film received critical acclaim and multiple award nominations upon its release in 2008.
