In ” The Peanut Butter Falcon, ” co-written and directed by Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz, Zac ( Zack Gottsegen ) is a man with Down Syndrome who has been placed in a nursing home by the state because he has no family and no resources. He has made friends with every elderly citizen, as well as Eleanor ( Dakota Johnson ), a friendly young woman who works at the facility.
Zac is a big wrestling fan and all day, every day he watches ancient video recordings issued by wrestlers named Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church), which Zac idolizes. Zac’s goal is to get to the Salt Water Redneck wrestling school, advertised in the video.
So Zac tried to run away. Many times. Eleanor was forced to label Zac “flight risk”), who complained of having to watch the same wrestling video all day but sympathized with Zac’s desire to surrender. One night, Carl helped Zac to bend back the iron bars in the window, suggested that Zac lubricate himself with hand soap, and watch his roommate run into the night, barefoot and wearing only underwear.
Zac took shelter under a tarpaulin on a rusty ship. This ship belongs to Tyler ( Shia LaBeouf ), a crab fisherman who is involved in an escalating war with rival named Duncan (John Hawkes). Tyler found his “stowaway” while being chased by Duncan through complicated creeks in the North Carolina Outer Banks. At the same time, Eleanor sought out Zac before his boss ordered him to be admitted to a government hospital with a bad reputation.
After a bumpy start, Tyler and Zac are bound. Zac told Tyler that his mission was to get to the Redneck wrestling school in Salt Water, and Tyler, on his way to Florida, decided to help. They departed on foot through the swampy landscape.
By the time Eleanor caught them, they had built a raft with wood given to them by a preacher in the forest. After a few quarrels, he is convinced – by an attracted Tyler – to join them on their illegal journey. The three of them floated on the coastline, not tethered from their respective trials and world pressures, as Huck and Jim floated on the Mississippi River.
