Hanks and Cranston Get Sporty in Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme

In a scene no one saw coming, Tom Hanks and Bryan Cranston hit the gym to teach Riz Ahmed the art of the “classic backhand layup” in The Phoenician Scheme.

Wes Anderson turns a simple basketball lesson into a hilariously stylized moment, complete with deadpan dialogue, pastel courts, and that signature symmetrical charm.

The Phoenician Scheme Cast: Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Riz Ahmed, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Rupert Friend, Hope Davis, Imad Mardnli and Benedict Cumberbatch The Phoenician Scheme is now playing in theaters!
