3 Movies That Put Cleveland on the Big Screen in 2025

The year was cinematic for the city, with a superhero blockbuster, an indie comedy and a crime thriller that put Cleveland on the big screen. The city wasn't just a backdrop, but became a character of its own in these flicks.

Lost & Found in Cleveland

Filmmaker and Cleveland native Keith Gerchak brought the star power to the city with Martin Sheen, Stacy Keach and Dennis Haysbert. The film follows five characters over 24 hours as their lives intertwine at an antiques appraisal show touring through Cleveland.
