"Across the Universe" is a love story set against the backdrop of the
1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, mind exploration and
rock 'n roll, moving from the dockyards of Liverpool to the creative
psychedelia of Greenwich Village, from the riot-torn streets of Detroit
to the killing fields of Vietnam. The star-crossed lovers, Jude and
Lucy, along with a small group of friends and musicians, are swept up
into the emerging anti-war and counterculture movements, with "Dr.
Robert" and
"Mr. Kite" as
their guides. Tumultuous forces outside their control ultimately tear
the young lovers apart, forcing Jude and Lucy--against all odds--to find
their own way back to each other.
