Bottle Rocket Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Wes Anderson
Genres: Comedy, Crime
Rating:

A bright, optimistic caper comedy from first-time director Wes_Anderson, Bottle Rocket focuses on a group of young Texans aspiring to become master thieves. Their leader is Dignan (Owen_C._Wilson, who also co-wrote the screenplay), an upbeat if naive charmer who convinces his friends Anthony (Wilson's brother Luke Wilson) and Bob Mapplethorpe (Robert_Musgrave) to enter the crime business. After their first heist, a bizarrely-executed robbery of a local bookstore, the trio goes on the lam, taking up residence in a border hotel where Anthony falls in love with a maid played by Lumi_Cavazos. When the three buddies decide that they need to return to the real world, they hook up with a master con-man (James_Caan) who sends them on a daring -- if ill-concieved -- mission. Jason Ankeny, Rovi
