With an ever-growing ensemble of collaborators long-time and new, Wes Anderson returns with another slice of beautifully designed whimsical Americana.
Drama • Off-beat • Quirky
Taking place in a fictional American desert town circa 1955, the itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention (organised to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition) is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.
