Brewster McCloud lives deep within the cavernous underground of the Houston Astrodome, but his dreams rise much higher. He aims to fly. Not in a plane. But with strapped-on wings he’s designing—encouraged by a mysterious woman who may be his guardian angel. In Robert Altman’s outrageous, absurd, and wildly funny 1970 black comedy, Shelley Duvall plays an Astrodome tour guide and fleeting love interest of the titular recluse, Brewster, who soon becomes embroiled in a series of unexplained killings in the Houston area.
