Based on a true story, Five year old Saroo Brierley (Dev Patel)while out with his brother, gets trapped on a train which takes him two days and thousands of miles across India, away from his home and family.

Saroo learns to survive alone in Kolkata, before ultimately being adopted by an Australian couple Sue and John Brierley (Nicole Kidman & David Wenham). 25 years later, with just a few memories, with an unwavering determination, and Google Earth, he embarks on a five year obsessive journey to find his lost family and finally return to his roots via a search, tracing a spiderweb’s worth of train tracks.

One day, he comes upon something: a water tower he recognised. In February 2012, Saroo traveled to the central Indian city of Khandwa, where, villagers took him to an elderly woman, his birth mother, Fatima.
