Trailer and Poster for Meg Ryan's Directorial Debut ITHACA

"Ithaca" is the directorial debut of Meg Ryan based on Pulitzer Prize-winning author William Saroyan's 1943 novel "The Human Comedy". Although you may have heard that this film reunites Ryan and Tom Hanks on the big screen for the first time since "You've Got Mail", Hanks only has a cameo in the film, while Ryan herself stars in a supporting role. So be careful how you manage your expectations for this one.

Set during World War II, the film tells the coming-of-age story of 14-year-old Homer Mcauley (Alex Neustaedter) whose older brother has gone to war leaving Homer to look after his widowed mother, his older sister and his 4-year-old brother. Homer works as a bicycle telegraph messenger, but one message in particular will change him forever.

The film also stars Sam Shepard, Molly Gordon, Hamish Linklater and Jack Quaid.

"Ithaca" will receive a limited release in theaters on September 9th.

Official Synopsis

"Set in a small town in California’s San Joaquin Valley, ITHACA tells the story of 14-year-old Homer Macauley who is determined to be the best and fastest bicycle telegraph messenger anyone has ever seen. His older brother has gone to war, leaving Homer to look after his widowed mother, his older sister and his 4-year-old brother, Ulysses. And so it is that as spring turns to summer, 1942, Homer Macauley delivers messages of love, hope, pain and death to the good people of Ithaca. And Homer Macauley will grapple with one message that will change him forever – from a boy into a man."
