The Soloist is an emotionally soaring drama about the redemptive power of music. Journalist Steve Lopez (Oscar nominee Robert Downey Jr.) discovers Nathaniel Anthony Ayeers (Oscar winner Jamie Foxx), a former classical music prodigy, playing his violin on the streets of L.A.

As Lopez endeavours to help the homeless man find his way back, a unique friendship is formed, one that transforms both of their lives. The Soloist is directed by Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride and Prejudice). Joe's previous collaboration with Working Title, Atonement, earned nominations for seven Academy Awards and 14 Baftas.
