In Victorian London, Dr. Treves discovers Joseph Merrick in a circus side show. Born with a congenital disorder, Merrick uses his disfigurement to earn a living as the “Elephant Man.” Treves takes an interest in Merrick’s welfare, discovering that his rough exterior hides a refined soul.
From iconic director David Lynch comes this moving and macabre, Oscar®-nominated historical drama, starring a truly unforgettable John Hurt. Examining disfigurement and prejudice, Lynch’s first Hollywood feature will surprise you with its humane and tender melancholy—and scare you with its darkness.
