Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and "one of Wes Anderson's funniest movies" (Robert Ebert, Brian Tallerico), THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME follows Anatole "Zsa-zsa" Korda (Benicio del Toro; Sicario) – ruthless, unscrupulous, one of the richest men in Europe – who is constantly fighting for his life. During the final stages of a vast, decades-long, career-defining business project, Korda survives a sixth assassination attempt and must appoint a successor: his long-estranged daughter Liesl (Mia Threapleton; Shadows) – a nun. With personal tutor Bjorn (Michael Cera; Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) in tow, the trio set off on a globetrotting adventure to achieve Korda's epic mission.
The thrilling comedy also boasts a critically acclaimed ensemble cast including Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump), Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad"), Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal), Mathieu Amalric (The Grand Budapest Hotel), Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction), Scarlett Johansson (Jurassic World Rebirth), Richard Ayoade ("The IT Crowd"), Rupert Friend (The French Dispatch), Hope Davis (American Splendor), and Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange).
