Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme is a father-daughter story.

Benicio del Toro stars as notorious businessman Zsa-zsa Korda .

Tom Hanks , Bryan Cranston , Richard Ayoade , Jeffrey Wright , Scarlett Johansson and Benedict Cumberbatch star.

The Phoenician Scheme is a charmingly hopeful tale about how even with our flaws we might find love, family, and salvation.

Cera engages in a delicate dance of silliness and sincerity, nailing every step.

The movie will open in limited U.S. on May 30 before going wide June 6 .
