The Peanut Butter Falcon Is a True Story in Its Own Odd Way
One of the most enchanting feel-good movies in recent memory, The Peanut Butter Falcon is a coming-of-age road dramedy with a huge heart. Written and directed by Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz, the movie is a loose contemporary retelling of Huckleberry Finn yet builds an original tale around its lovable lead, Zak (Zack Gottsagen). Inspired to become a professional wrestler named the Peanut Butter Falcon, Zak is a young man with Down syndrome who flees the hospital with an unlikely criminal accomplice named Tyler (Shia LaBeouf).
