Synopsis
Orphaned, penniless but ambitious and with a mind
crammed with imagination and fresh ideas, the American Phineas Taylor
Barnum will always be remembered as the man with the gift to
effortlessly blur the line between reality and fiction. Thirsty for
innovation and hungry for success, the son of a tailor will manage to
open a wax museum but will soon shift focus to the unique and peculiar,
introducing extraordinary, never-seen-before live acts on the circus
stage. Some will call Barnum's wide collection of oddities, a freak
show; however, when the obsessed showman gambles everything on the opera
singer Jenny Lind to appeal to a high-brow audience, he will somehow
lose sight of the most important aspect of his life: his family. Will
Barnum risk it all to be accepted?
