Wes Anderson made his return to theaters with The Phoenician Scheme earlier this year, and now the film is heading home. It’ll arrive on Digital on July 8th, 2025. Then later this month, on July 29th, it’ll arrive on 4K UHD and Blu-ray from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
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).

Here’s what we had to say in our review of The Phoenician Scheme.
Though the story has been seen by some as simplistic, especially compared to recent entries like Asteroid City and The French Dispatch, sometimes simple is what you need. This isn’t meant to be a flashy tale like the aforementioned works–it’s an exploration and a meditation on life and family. Anderson digs into some potentially nihilistic subjects, but executes them tenderly.
The Phoenician Scheme is fun, and cute, and heartfelt. There are plenty of laughs and plenty of reflective moments. Sure, the story itself falls on the lighter end of the Anderson spectrum, but what matters is the heart—and the performances—are there.
