Wes Anderson is an acclaimed filmmaker known globally for his distinctive visual and storytelling style. The 56-year-old Academy Award-winning director has delivered several memorable films, including the India-set comedy-drama The Darjeeling Limited (2007), the animated adventure Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), the sci-fi comedy-drama Asteroid City (2023), and the fantasy anthology The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Three More (2024).

Much like his earlier films, Wes Anderson’s latest star-studded release, The Phoenician Scheme, also earned widespread critical acclaim. However, despite the positive reviews, the film managed to gross only $38.7 million at the global box office, according to Box Office Mojo. In a silver lining of sorts, The Phoenician Scheme has now become a streaming hit in the U.S. on the Peacock platform, as per FlixPatrol. Read on to learn what the film is about and where you can watch it in India and the United States.
