Synopsis
In director Wes Anderson's THE DARJEELING LIMITED, three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. Their "spiritual quest", however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray), and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins.
Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman star in THE DARJEELING LIMITED about their adventure and their friendship. It is directed by Wes Anderson from a screenplay by Anderson & Roman Coppola & Jason Schwartzman.
