The Phoenician Scheme

2025

A caper made with all the intricacy of a Rube Goldberg machine, The Phoenician Scheme doesn't deviate from Wes Anderson's increasingly ornate style but delivers the formula with mannered delicacy.

Written, produced and  directed by Wes Anderson, this dark comedy comes from a story he conceived with Roman Coppola.

The film features an ensemble cast that includes Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Richard Ayoade, Jeffry Wright, Scarlett Johnson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, Hope Davis, F.Murray Abraham,, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Willem Dafoe, and Bill Murray.
