Captiain Fantastic

An unconventional family leaves its wilderness home and tries to adapt to the world outside the forests of the Pacific Northwest in Captain Fantastic, a humorous, challenging and ultimately moving drama from writer and director Matt Ross. Ben Cash (Viggo Mortensen) and his wife Leslie (Trin Miller) have created an offthe-grid paradise for their family. In a self-sufficient, handcrafted compound, Ben teaches his six children the skills they need to survive in the deep forest, as well as providing them with a rigorous physical and intellectual education. But when a family tragedy forces the Cashes to return to the outside world, Ben’s ideas of what it means to be a parent are challenged and he must confront the price his children are paying for his dream. Written and directed by Matt Ross.
