Plot Summary

Move into the Houston Astrodome and take off with Brewster McCloud on an unforgettable flight of comic fantasy! Sally Kellerman, Bud Cort, Shelley Duvall and Michael Murphy star in a zany fairy tale for our time -- a wickedly irreverent, thoroughly delightful comedy from award-winning director Robert Altman (M*A*S*H). A ruthless killer is on the loose in Houston, and some of the city's richest and most illustrious citizens are among the victims. Is it the killer's bizarre trademark or merely a coincidence that each corpse is marked with bird droppings? The police are baffled. A super-cool San Francisco detective (Michael Murphy) is brought in to take over the case. Soon he's hot on the trail of Brewster McCloud (Bud Cort), a strange young man who lives under the Astrodome where he is secretly building a pair of giant wings. Co-stars Stacy Keach, William Windom, Jennifer Salt and Margaret Hamilton provide "a lot of very funny characterizations," said New York Magazine. With its wildly improbable plot, rich satirical detail and manic humor, "Brewster McCloud is a clear triumph of the imagination. Robert Altman is the first man to hit one out of the Astrodome" (Newsweek).
