The Phoenician Scheme revolves around Anatole “Zsa-zsa” Korda (del Toro), one of the richest men in Europe who is locked in a constant battle for his life. After surviving a sixth assassination attempt, Korda decides to name a successor, his estranged, 20-year-old daughter, Liesl (Threapleton), who has chosen to pursue the life of a nun. Joined by personal tutor Bjorn (Cera), the father-daughter duo embark on an epic, globe-trotting adventure.
“Zsa-zsa strategically decides he needs to bring his daughter back into his life because she will serve the purposes of his business interests,” Anderson said in Universal Pictures press notes ahead of release. “In the course of the movie, as he continues to be threatened and struggles with changing circumstances and new enemies, his strategy begins to evaporate, and is replaced by an aspiration to be a father instead."
“The father/daughter angle is the heart of the piece," adds del Toro.
Riz Ahmed (Venom), Tom Hanks (Asteroid City), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Mathieu Amalric (Quantum of Solace), Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd), Jeffrey Wright (Westworld), Scarlett Johansson (Jurassic World Rebirth), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), Rupert Friend (Obi-Wan Kenobi), and Hope Davis (Your Honor) round out the cast.
