Bottle Rocket
They're not criminals, but everybody's got to have a dream.
Directed by Wes Anderson
A quirky, affectionate portrait of three misfits pursuing a half-baked crime spree, more interested in friendship and aspiration than actual criminality.
Dysfunctional friends Dignan and Anthony plan and execute a robbery with their pot-growing friend, Bob. The short film that inspired Wes Anderson’s feature debut.
