What happens

Bottle Rocket is a 1996 American crime comedy film directed by Wes Anderson in his feature film directorial debut. Written by Anderson and Owen Wilson and based on Anderson's 1992 short film of the same name, it also marks the acting debuts of brothers Owen and Luke Wilson. Also featured are their older brother Andrew Wilson, Robert Musgrave, Lumi Cavazos, and James Caan. Principal photography took place in various locations throughout Texas. Though not a commercial success due to its limited release in theaters by Sony Pictures Releasing on February 21, 1996, the film received acclaim from critics and launched the film careers of Anderson and the Wilson brothers. Director Martin Scorsese later named Bottle Rocket one of his top-ten favorite films of the 1990s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
