在这部身在高地剧情/爱情/音乐片中,华纳以5000万美元购得音乐剧《身在高地》电影拍摄权。该片2016年最早由韦恩斯坦公司立项，自韦恩斯坦宣布破产后，影片的拍摄权引发多家公司竞标。音乐剧《身在高地》由百老汇全能才子林-曼努尔·米兰达主演，曾获封2008年托尼奖最佳音乐剧。新片导演朱浩伟，原剧编剧奎埃拉·阿里格里亚·赫德兹操刀剧本，影片围绕纽约曼哈顿区一个拉丁移民家庭的追梦故事展开。
In the Heights centers on a variety of characters living in the neighborhood of Washington Heights, on the northern tip of Manhattan. At the center of the show is Usnavi, a bodega owner who looks after the aging Cuban lady next door, pines for the gorgeous girl working in the neighboring beauty salon and dreams of winning the lottery and escaping to the shores of his native Dominican Republic. Meanwhile, Nina, a childhood friend of Usnavi's, has returned to the neighborhood from her first year at college with surprising news for her parents, who have spent their life savings on building a better life for their daughter. Ultimately, Usnavi and the residents of the close-knit neighborhood get a dose of what it means to be home.
