Movie Mixer: The Phoenician Scheme

Be one of the first to witness Oscar-winning auteur Wes Anderson's stylish, star-studded espionage comedy, The Phoenician Scheme, at our Opening Night Movie Mixer events!

Enjoy a complimentary Tommy's Limoncello Spritz cocktail on arrival.

Penned by Anderson and dreamed up alongside frequent co-writer and collaborator Roman Coppola (Moonrise Kingdom, Isle of Dogs, The Darjeeling Limited), the dark comedy promises Anderson’s signature visual style and distinctive storytelling. The oddball journey is an absurdist and action-packed tale of espionage following a complex father-daughter relationship within a family business.

Oscar winner Benicio del Toro (Traffic) stars as a derring-do millionaire called Zsa-zsa Korda, who has survived six plane crashes and fathered nine sons and one daughter, a nun called Liesel (Mia Threapleton). With tutor Bjorn Lund (Michael Cera), they embark on a quest to secure the future of Korda’s business ventures and soon become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists and determined assassins.

Premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, Anderson’s thirteenth film boasts a stacked A-list ensemble cast of longtime Anderson favourites and several newcomers, including, Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Rupert Friend, Richard Ayoade, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed, Mathieu Amalric, Jeffrey Wright, Hope Davis, and a generously hairy Benedict Cumberbatch.
