 Tagline: To find the truth, you have to find who's hiding it.
The fates of two men and their families converge following a tragic accident. Ethan Lerner (Joaquin Phoenix) and his family are on the way home from their son's cello recital. That same evening, law associate Dwight Arno (Mark Ruffalo) and his son are on their way back from a baseball game.
In a flash, the unthinkable happens, and Ethan's son dies under the wheels of Dwight's car. Dwight speeds away, and Ethan, as the only witness to the tragedy, begins his own quest for justice.
Writer / director Terry George was looking for a film to be able to follow his Hotel Rwanda, which had received three Academy Award nominations.
George says, "I pursued Reservation Road in part because it investigated the motives of revenge and hatred and fear, and where those lead people. In this post-9/11 world, `an eye for an eye' needs to be examined through drama.
