The screenplay of a new film by Wes Anderson
Thousands of years ago an asteroid fell from the sky, creating a huge crater, in thecentre of which a piece of asteroid rock remains.
Once a year, a convention is held on the site, attracting astronomers, teachers, families with would-be teenage astronomers – as well as military personnel.
As the stars begin to align, events occur which are startling, and completely unexpected.
This is Anderson at his comic best; it is also suffused with the grief caused by the death ofthe mother of one of the families - giving the film a profound emotional impact.
The film stars Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie, Scarlet Johansson, and Tilda Swinton, as well asfamiliar faces from Anderson's previous films.
