Synopsis:

Tom Selznick, the most talented pianist of his generation, stopped performing in public because of his stage fright. Years after a catastrophic performance, he reappears in public in a long awaited concert in Chicago. In a packed theatre, in front of the expectant audience, Tom finds a message written on the score: “Play one wrong note and you die”. Without leaving the piano, Tom must discover the anonymous sniper’s motives and look for help without anyone realising…

We like it because:

Grand Piano is fast paced, high-strung and wrought with tension, featuring a symphony of thrilling elements coming together to create an extremely entertaining piece of cinema. With strong performances from Elijah Wood, who learned to play the piano for the role and a truly intense turn from John Cusack, Grand Piano is a film that delivers drama and excitement throughout.
