The Peanut Butter Falcon a comedy drama from writer / director team Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz. It’s a small, unassuming movie with a dynamite cast that’s intent on making you feel good. Zak (Zack Gottsagen) is a young man with Down syndrome, living in a North Carolina care facility that primarily looks after the elderly. His friend and carer, Eleanor (Dakota Johnson) labels him a flight risk, after his repeated attempts to escape. Sure enough, with the help of his roommate Carl (Bruce Dern), Zak escapes and hits the road, determined to fulfil his ambition and travel to a wrestling school to meet his idol – regional pro wrestler The Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Hayden Church).
Zak is pursued by Eleanor who wants him to return home, and along the way, he meets Tyler (Shia Lebeouf) who is also being pursued - by volatile local fisherman, Duncan (John Hawkes). Zak and Tyler bond quickly and begrudgingly and together they go on the lam.
