Captain Fantastic

He prepared them for everything except the outside world... 

Featuring an incredible lead performance by Viggo Mortensen, CAPTAIN FANTASTIC follows a father raising his six children off-the-grid in the American wilderness. Far from the modern world, Ben (Mortensen) teaches his kids survival skills and home-schools them with a challenging curriculum of science, philosophy, literature and a healthy dose of anarchy. But when tragedy strikes, the family is forced to leave their self-created paradise on a road trip across Middle America. For the first time, the kids face the perils and excitement of the outside world and Ben begins to question the choices he has made for his family.

In one of his finest roles to date, Mortensen delivers a charismatic, playful and impassioned performance as a father determined to raise his children against the tide of an increasingly commodified, consumerist world.

After premiering to a standing ovation at Sundance earlier this year, CAPTAIN FANTASTIC garnered critical acclaim at Cannes Film Festival, where writer/director Matt Ross was awarded Best Director. Funny, adventurous and heartfelt, Ross offers a refreshing take on the challenges of fatherhood with this hugely enjoyable film.
