Brewster McCloud

“"Something else" from the director of M*A*S*H”

Brewster (Bud Cort) is a quiet, owlish young man who lives in a fallout shelter beneath the Houston Astrodome, and he wants one thing: to fly inside the stadium on wings of his own. Robert Altman follows him through a stretch of Houston where people who get in the way of the plan have a habit of ending up in trouble. Louise (Sally Kellerman) watches over Brewster and keeps close to him, and what passes between them is odd and tender.
