Description
Cast: Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, James Caan
An expanded version of a 1994 short film, Anderson’s feature debut follows two best friends (played by the real-life brothers Wilson) as they attempt to escape the doldrums of suburbia for a life of crime on the road. Bottle Rocket examines dreams and romanticism with an off-beat, semi-surreal style matched perfectly to Anderson’s idiosyncrasies. It proved to be a breakthrough for both the director and the Wilson brothers.
