A 94-year old New Yorker, Jack Beers, has broken the age barrier full force.

He can do what most young men can (and then some!), and his many diverse lifetime achievments, helping to shape New York City, would take many men to accomplish. This is an inspiring, funny and moving film – a true rags to riches story.

At 94, Jack is not like any man his age. The film begins with an acknowledgment of Jack from Mayor Bloomberg for his contribution over a century to New York City. Then we see Jack’s name in lights on the famous marquee of Radio City Music Hall. Next we watch Jack rip a Greenwich, Connecticut telephone book into 4 pieces with his bare hands – and this is only the beginning.
