Bottle Rocket

6.7

Released February 21, 1996Runtime 1h 31min

They're not really criminals, but everyone's got to have a dream.

Upon his release from a mental hospital following a nervous breakdown, the directionless Anthony joins his friend Dignan, who seems far less sane than the former. Dignan has hatched a harebrained scheme for an as-yet-unspecified crime spree that somehow involves his former boss, the (supposedly) legendary Mr. Henry.
