Synopsis

"Hello. This person is under the care of a prescription puppet. Please, treat him as you normally would, but address yourself to the beaver."

Two-time Academy Award® winner Jodie Foster directs and co-stars with two-time Academy Award® winner Mel Gibson in THE BEAVER - an emotional story about a man on a journey to re-discover his family and re-start his life.

Plagued by his own demons, Walter Black (Mel Gibson) was once a successful toy executive and family man who now suffers from depression. No matter what he tries, Walter can't seem to get himself back on track...until a beaver hand puppet enters his life.

Also starring Anton Yelchin, Academy Award® Nominee Jennifer Lawrence, Cherry Jones, THE BEAVER is written by Kyle Killen.
