Stuck in a no-man’s-land between family drama, caper flick and acerbic comedy, Nobel Son stars Alan Rickman as Nobel Prize-nominated Professor Eli Michaelson. When his son, Barkley (October Road’s Bryan Greenberg), is kidnapped on the eve of his acceptance of the award, he is forced to pay $2 million in his prize winnings as ransom while stumbling into a swirling plot of deception and retribution.
We were huge fans of ABC’s October Road and mourned its cancellation like the passing of a dear friend.
