The Peanut Butter Falcon
2019 · Movie · 97 min. · United States
Zak, a young man with Down syndrome, runs away from the nursing home where he lives to pursue his dream of becoming a professional wrestler and attending a wrestling school. Through circumstances beyond their control, a small-time outlaw also on the run (Shia LaBeouf) becomes Zak’s unlikely coach and ally. Together they wind through deltas, elude capture, drink whisky, find God, catch fish, and convince Eleanor, a kind nursing home employee with a story of her own to join them on their journey.
