Set in 1950, The Phoenician Scheme follows wealthy anti-hero Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio del Toro). His ruthless business ventures have made him the enemy of just about everyone, and he’s hounded by non-stop assassination attempts.
In the face of his likely imminent murder, Zsa-zsa decides to prepare his estranged daughter Liesl (Mia Threapleton) to be his successor. As a nun, Liesl is the absolute antithesis to her swindler of a father, but they soon rub off on each other.
An espionage dark comedy directed by Wes Anderson with an ensemble cast including Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks and Benedict Cumberbatch.
