Deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, isolated from society, a devoted father (Viggo Mortensen) dedicates his life to transforming his six young children into extraordinary adults. But when a tragedy strikes the family, they are forced to leave this self-created paradise and begin a journey into the outside world that challenges his idea of what it means to be a parent and brings into question everything he's taught them. Nominated for Best Actor at the **Academy Awards,** the **Golden Globes,** the **Film Independent Spirit Awards,** and the **BAFTA Awards.** Winner of a Directing Prize at the **Cannes Film Festival.** *"Captain Fantastic leaves viewers with the cheering, deeply affecting image of a dad whose superpowers lie in simply doing the best that he can." - Ann Hornaday, **The Washington Post***
