As the delightful globe-trotting adventure continues to captivate audiences in theaters nationwide, Focus Features’ THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME will be available exclusively on digital platforms to own or rent at home tomorrow, July 8, 2025, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. From seven-time Oscar® nominated writer and director, Wes Anderson’s newest film has been hailed by critics as “a dazzler” (LA Times, Amy Nicholson) and “wonderful (and explosive)” (The Hollywood Reporter, Lovia Gyarkye). Go behind the scenes with exciting never-before-seen bonus content including featurettes with all-star cast that dive deeper into Anderson’s signature unique visual style, only when you purchase from participating digital retailers nationwide, including Apple TV, Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu), Comcast Xfinity, Cox, Microsoft Movies & TV, and Movies Anywhere. The film will also debut on 4K UHD and Blu-ray™ on July 29, 2025.
Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and “one of Wes Anderson’s funniest movies” (Robert Ebert, Brian Tallerico), THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME follows Anatole “Zsa-zsa” Korda (Benicio del Toro; Sicario) – ruthless, unscrupulous, one of the richest men in Europe – who is constantly fighting for his life. During the final stages of a vast, decades-long, career-defining business project, Korda survives a sixth assassination attempt and must appoint a successor: his long-estranged daughter Liesl (Mia Threapleton; Shadows) – a nun. With personal tutor Bjorn (Michael Cera; Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) in tow, the trio set off on a globetrotting adventure to achieve Korda’s epic mission.
The thrilling comedy also boasts a critically acclaimed ensemble cast including Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump), Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”), Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal), Mathieu Amalric (The Grand Budapest Hotel), Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction), Scarlett Johansson (Jurassic World Rebirth), Richard Ayoade (“The IT Crowd”), Rupert Friend (The French Dispatch), Hope Davis (American Splendor), and Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange).
