Nunzio is the heart-warming story of a very special man who has both the mental powers and the innocence of a child. The film depicts Nunzio's fantasy of being a comic book super-hero, as well as his day to day life -- on his delivery route for a local grocer, with his family, hassling with the local toughs, playing ball with the younger neighborhood kids who adore him. But one day, Nunzio's fantasy of himself as a super-hero is turned into a stunning death-defying reality. While trapped on the roof of a burning building, this less-than-ordinary man performs an extraordinary miracle of daring. Shot on location on the streets of New York, Nunzio is as real and moving and exciting a personal story as ever made an audience stand up and cheer.
