Synopsis

Everyday immigrants from all over the world arrive in Los Angeles striving to make a better life for themselves but little idea of how of what that life may cost and their desperate circumstances test the humanity of immigration enforcement officers.

Writer/director Wayne Kramer explores the allure of the American dream in CROSSING OVER and the reality of the situation that immigrants find themselves in - and create - in 21st century LA.

By intersecting stories both liberating and tragic, Kramer's portrayal is brought to life by an international ensemble. The film stars Academy Award® nominee Harrison Ford, Ray Liotta, Ashley Judd, Cliff Curtis, Jim Sturgess, Alice Eve, Alice Braga, Justin Chon and Summer Bishil.
