“Less conceptually quirky than the eccentric auteur’s recent Asteroid City, but no less profound, The Phoenician Scheme once again finds [Wes] Anderson incorporating existential matters into a seemingly satirical form.” —Peter Debruge, Variety
Wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio del Toro) appoints his estranged daughter Liesl (Mia Threapleton), a nun, as sole heir to his estate. As Korda embarks on a new enterprise, the two become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists, and determined assassins. Set in the fictional country of Phoenicia circa 1950, the film features performances by F. Murray Abraham, Riz Ahmed, Michael Cera, Bryan Cranston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Willem Dafoe, Scarlett Johanssen, and Tom Hanks.
