Sampai pada suatu hari bocah berumur 9 tahun ini menemukan kunci misterius dalam sebuah amplop peninggalan sang ayah, yang kemudian membawanya bertualang mengelilingi New York. Di kota tersebut, Oskar berusaha mencari sisa-sisa kenangan ayahnya dengan harapan ia meraih kembali semangat hidup yang dulu pernah dimilikinya ketika ayahnya masih hidup.
Film yang diadaptasi dari novel berjudul sama karya Jonathan Safran Foer ini disutradarai oleh Stephen Daldry yang sebelumnya angkat nama lewat ''The Hours, The Reader'', dan ''Billi Eliot''. KIsah yang mengangkat kedekatan antara anak yang menderita sindrom asperger dan ayahnya ini mendapat nominasi best motion picture of the year dan best performance by an actor in a supporting role (Max Von Sydow) dalam ajang Oscar meski pada akhirnya tak memenangkan satupun.<ref>{{cite web|title=Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477302/|publisher=IMDb|accessdate=24 August 2013|archive-date=2014-09-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140927014050/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477302/|dead-url=no}}</ref><ref name="DeadlineAug2010">{{cite news|url=http://www.deadline.com/2010/08/warner-bros-and-paramount-in-tandem-on-extremely-loud-and-incredibly-close/|title=Warner Bros and Paramount In Tandem On 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close'|last=Fleming|first=Mike|work=[[Deadline.com]]|publisher=[[PMC (company)|PMC]]|date=August 22, 2010|accessdate=May 30, 2011|archiveurl=httphttps://www.webcitation.org/62cbQCh7y?url=http://www.deadline.com/2010/08/warner-bros-and-paramount-in-tandem-on-extremely-loud-and-incredibly-close/|archivedate=October 22, 2011-10-22|deadurl=no}}</ref><ref name="DeadlineAug2010"/><ref>{{cite news|last=Kit|first=Borys|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/stephen-daldry-direct-extremely-loud-22217|title=Stephen Daldry to direct 'Extremely Loud': Project based on a Sept. 11-themed novel|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|publisher=[[Prometheus Global Media]]|date=October 14, 2010|accessdate=May 26, 2011|archiveurl=httphttps://www.webcitation.org/5zETOfTpY?url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/stephen-daldry-direct-extremely-loud-22217|archivedate=June 6, 2011-06-06|deadurl=no}}</ref><ref name="BusinessWire">{{cite news|url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110301005743/en/Cameras-Roll-%E2%80%9CExtremely-Loud-Incredibly-Close%E2%80%9D-Heads|title=Cameras Roll on "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" as It Heads from the Page to the Big Screen|work=[[Business Wire]]|date=March 1, 2011|accessdate=May 30, 2011|archiveurl=httphttps://www.webcitation.org/5z4viCU8H?url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110301005743/en/Cameras-Roll-%E2%80%9CExtremely-Loud-Incredibly-Close%E2%80%9D-Heads|archivedate=May 2011-05-30, 2011|deadurl=no}}</ref><ref name="TomHanks">{{cite news|url=http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=68996|title=Hanks and Bullock Getting Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close|work=ComingSoon.net|publisher=[[CraveOnline]]|date=August 23, 2010|accessdate=May 26, 2011|archive-date=2012-01-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120034058/http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=68996|dead-url=yes}}</ref><ref name="BackStageblog">{{cite web|url=http://blogstage.backstage.com/2010/11/extremely-loud-and-incredibly-close-casting-boys-in-brooklyn.html|title='Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close' Casting Boys in Brooklyn?|last=Lehman|first=Daniel|work=[[Back Stage]]|publisher=[[Prometheus Global Media]]|date=November 1, 2010|accessdate=May 30, 2011|archiveurl=httphttps://www.webcitation.org/5z4uJJLZh?url=http://blogstage.backstage.com/2010/11/extremely-loud-and-incredibly-close-casting-boys-in-brooklyn.html|archivedate=May 2011-05-30, 2011|deadurl=no}}</ref><ref name=ATC01>[[Robert Siegel|Siegel, Robert]], [http://www.npr.org/2011/12/20/144029796/stephen-daldry-discusses-new-movie "Stephen Daldry Discusses New Movie"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210910054252/https://www.npr.org/2011/12/20/144029796/stephen-daldry-discusses-new-movie |date=2021-09-10 }}, interview with Daltry, ''All Things Considered'', [[NPR]], December 20, 2011.

=== Best Picture nomination ===
Before the film's release, ''Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close'' was expected to be a major contender at the [[84th Academy Awards]] ([[Stephen Daldry]]'s previous two films had garnered [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]] nominations). However, due to the film's polarizing reception and being ignored by most of the Critics Groups Awards, the [[Golden Globe Award]]s, the [[British Academy Film Awards]], and the [[Screen Actors Guild Award]]s, it was no longer deemed as a major contender.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vokle.com/events/45818-oscar-nomination-reactions-and-analysis| title= Oscar Nomination Reactions and Analysis| accessdate =March 13, 2012|archive-date=2014-01-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140112064502/http://www.vokle.com/events/45818-oscar-nomination-reactions-and-analysis|dead-url=yes}}</ref> Nevertheless, the film was nominated for [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]] and [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor|Best Supporting Actor]].

Many critics have blamed the new Best Picture rules for the nomination. John Young at ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' says that when it comes to the new rules, "it's better to be loved by a small and passionate group instead of liked by a much larger group",<ref>{{cite web |last=Bierly |first=Mandi |url=http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/01/24/oscars-best-picture-why-nine-nominees/ |title=Academy Award nominations: Why 9 Best Pic nominees? | Inside Movies | EW.com |publisher=Insidemovies.ew.com |date= |accessdate=2012-07-07 |archive-date=2013-05-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130503193256/http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/01/24/oscars-best-picture-why-nine-nominees/ |dead-url=no }}</ref> and Jen Chaney at ''[[The Washington Post]]'', believes that, "the Academy should've just stuck to the 10 rule so that films like [[The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011 film)|''Dragon Tattoo'']] or [[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2|''Harry Potter'']] could've joined the other worthy contenders, because if you’re going to create a bunch of drama around the number of nominees and then come up one shy of what has become the typical total, that just feels like a letdown."<ref>{{cite news|last=Chaney|first=Jen|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/celebritology/post/oscar-nominations-2012-did-the-best-picture-change-make-a-difference/2012/01/24/gIQAy9hRNQ_blog.html|title=Oscar nominations 2012: Did the best picture change make a difference? - Celebritology 2.0|work=The Washington Post|date=2012-01-24|accessdate=2012-07-07|archive-date=2016-03-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310070702/https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/celebritology/post/oscar-nominations-2012-did-the-best-picture-change-make-a-difference/2012/01/24/gIQAy9hRNQ_blog.html|dead-url=no}}</ref> ''[[The Week]]'' writes that the new rules are a failure, as it lets "smaller, divisive movies that the Academy had hoped to weed out, like ''[[The Tree of Life (film)|Tree of Life]]'' and ''Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close'' in, but prevents {{sic|hide=y|critically|-}}praised crowd pleasers like ''[[Bridesmaids (2011 film)|Bridesmaids]]'' and [[The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011 film)|''The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo'']] from being nominated."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://theweek.com/article/index/223644/oscars-2012-are-the-new-best-picture-rules-a-failure |title=Oscars 2012: Are the new Best Picture rules a failure? |publisher=The Week |accessdate=2012-07-07 |archive-date=2014-10-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141015085918/http://theweek.com/article/index/223644/oscars-2012-are-the-new-best-picture-rules-a-failure |dead-url=no }}</ref>
Not all critics were negative about the nomination. Tom O'Neil, a former ''L.A. Times'' critic, analyzed the film's few nominations in other awards and its polarizing reaction from critics stating: "This is a movie that we unwisely wrote off, but we did it because we believed the critics. This movie delivers. It is a ''superb'' motion picture. It is moving, it is relevant to our time, it is ''extremely'' well made."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vokle.com/events/45818-oscar-nomination-reactions-and-analysis| title= Oscar Nomination Reactions and Analysis Question 6| accessdate =March 13, 2012|archive-date=2014-01-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140112064502/http://www.vokle.com/events/45818-oscar-nomination-reactions-and-analysis|dead-url=yes}}</ref>
At the [[84th Academy Awards]], ''Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close'' lost in both of its categories (Best Picture to [[The Artist (film)|''The Artist'']] and Best Supporting Actor to [[Christopher Plummer]] for ''[[Beginners]]'').
