Asteroid City

In a fictional American desert town circa 1955, Junior Stargazers and Space Cadets from across the country assemble for the annual Asteroid Day celebration. However, the scholarly competition is spectacularly upended by world-changing events.

Starring Jason Schwartzman (The French Dispatch, The Grand Budapest Hotel), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow, Jojo Rabbit), and Tom Hanks (Elvis, News of the World), this latest feature from the signular Wes Anderson is equal parts comedy, drama, and romance (with a touch of science-fiction).
