America, 1955. A grieving photographer and his four children find themselves stranded in the remote Asteroid City after their car breaks down. They’re soon joined by dozens of people who’ve arrived for the final of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention. However, a dramatic development during a rare astronomical phenomenon leaves the visitors stuck together in the tiny desert town for much longer than they’d anticipated…

Featuring one of the most star-studded ensemble casts in recent memory, Asteroid City is Wes Anderson at his most stylish and playful. Overflowing with humour and visual ideas, this is also one of Anderson’s more heartfelt recent films. Amid all the deadpan whimsy, there are also unexpected moments of warmth and romance.
