The Peanut Butter Falcon
Zak (Zack Gottsagen) is 22 years old and has Down's Syndrome. He lives in residential care in North Carolina, where kindly nurse Eleanor (Dakota Johnson) keeps a close eye on him along with elderly residents, who don't share Zak's obsession with pro wrestler Salt Water Redbrick (Thomas Haden Church). Zak yearns to escape and to enrol in a wrestling school. With the help of elderly resident Carl (Bruce Dern), Zak slips out of his room and sneaks aboard a boat down by the docks. Fisherman Tyler (Shia LaBeouf) steals the craft after an argument about illegally fished crabs. When Tyler discovers the stowaway, he initially intends to leave Zak on the shore. However, a tender bond forms between the two misfits and Tyler takes Zak under his wing, promising the wrestling fan safe passage to Florida. Nurse Eleanor gives chase in the hope that she can persuade Zak to return to the home with her.
