Husband is unsatisfied with dull job. Wife is unsatisfied with whole life. Scenes follow to show how dreadful the Fifties were in America. Husband and wife, casually living in a street named "Revolutionary Road", want more than that. They want to revolutionize the course of their lives. The family, with kids, is now set to move to Paris, France, even if they don't know exactly what they are going to do there. Moving to Paris was her idea, but he agrees. They both feel like they are special people, not an ordinary tread-of-mill suburban couple. But then, something unexpected happens: an opportunity that would make husband's job much more gratifying and less dull. The guy is not so eager to move to Paris any longer. That seems to make him like a war criminal to the eyes of his wife, and to the eyes of the author of the story.
Really?
