Captain Fantastic background

Captain Fantastic

A devoted father, who has spent years educating his six children in the Pacific Northwest wilderness, must abandon his idyllic life and confront the outside world, redefining his understanding of parenting and himself.

The movie takes place in a remote cabin in Washington state, where Ben and Leslie Cash, along with their six children, live off the grid and follow a socialist and survivalist lifestyle. The parents have passed on their ideals to their children, teaching them self-sufficiency, critical thinking, and physical skills. However, their life is disrupted when Leslie, who suffers from bipolar disorder, passes away. Ben's father, Jack, a Christian, blames Ben for Leslie's death and tries to take control of the funeral arrangements, leading to a conflict between the two. The movie explores themes of grief, identity, and the clash between different values and beliefs.
