The World's Fastest Indian, has an absolutely stellar performance by Sir Anthony Hopkins as the ambitious, lovable and eccentric, self-taught New Zealand Engineer, Bert "Burt" Munro. This charming, bawdy, fascinating, riveting, nerve-wracking, hilarious, heartwarming and heartbreaking film is one hell of a true story. Bert passed away in 1978 and his children were moved to tears when they watched Hopkin's performance as their father on visiting the film set in 2005.

Seventeen-year-old Ruby (Emilia Jones) is the sole hearing member of a deaf family -- a CODA, child of deaf adults. Her life revolves around acting as interpreter for her parents (Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur) and working on the family's struggling fishing boat every day before school with her father and older brother (Daniel Durant). But when Ruby joins her high school's choir club, she discovers a gift for singing and soon finds herself drawn to her duet partner Miles (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo). Encouraged by her enthusiastic, tough-love choirmaster (Eugenio Derbez) to apply to a prestigious music school, Ruby finds herself torn between the obligations she feels to her family and the pursuit of her own dreams.
