The Phoenician Scheme: What the Gap Actually Is, Revealed
Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme introduced a complex project called the Korda Land and Sea Phoenician Infrastructure Scheme, and it involved a concept called "the gap." The black comedy movie mainly revolves around Zsa-zsa Karda (Benicio del Toro), an arms dealer and industrialist who, after seeing visions of the afterlife, decides to make amends with his estranged daughter, Sister Liesl (Mia Threapleton). Throughout the movie, Zsa-zsa is hunted down by an unknown killer amid his efforts to spearhead his newfound business venture. The Phoenician Scheme is imbued with Wes Anderson's style, meaning that some terms or concepts are deliberately vague or not explained thoroughly in the movie. One of these concepts is the gap, a crucial aspect that could make or break Zsa-zsa as his life and business hang in the balance. Directed by Wes Anderson, The Phoenician Scheme (part of Universal CinemaCon 2025's lineup of announcements) is headlined by a star-studded cast led by Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Benedict Cumberbatch, Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson, and Jeffrey Wright. The Phoenician Scheme premiered in theaters on May 29, 2025, before it premiered on Peacock on July 25, 2025. Read full article on The Direct.
