The Phoenician Scheme

One of the most anticipated films of the year, Wes Anderson returns with an all-star ensemble in this tale of comedic espionage and intrigue.

Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio del Toro) is the richest man in Europe and facing an onslaught of threats to his a life after appointing his nun daughter Liesl (Mia Threapleton) as his heir.

This inspired, picture-postcard ensemble spy comedy, is co-written with longtime Anderson collaborator Roman Coppola (The Darjeeling Limited, Moonrise Kingdom), decorated with a typically magnificent cast which includes Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson and Benedict Cumberbatch.
