THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME follows Anatole “Zsa-zsa” Korda (Benicio del Toro) – ruthless, unscrupulous, one of the richest men in Europe – who is constantly fighting for his life. During the final stages of a vast, decades-long, career-defining business project, Korda survives a sixth assassination attempt and must appoint a successor: his long-estranged daughter Liesl (Mia Threapleton) – a nun.
