Captain Fantastic

“He prepared them for everything except the outside world.”

Ben Cash (Viggo Mortensen) has raised his six children in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, teaching them philosophy and survival skills while the outside world stayed out. When his wife dies, he must guide them down from the forest to attend her funeral and face relatives who think he's kept them caged. The film measures what Ben built against what his children actually need, and finds the answer is neither one thing nor the other.
