Brewster McCloud is a 1970 American fantasy comedy film directed by Robert Altman. The story revolves around Brewster McCloud, a young recluse who lives in the bomb shelter of the Houston Astrodome, which he has turned into his own personal aviary. Brewster is an eccentric and intellectually gifted boy, obsessed with the idea of flight. He spends his time building a wingsuit and studying birds to learn the secrets of flight.
As Brewster becomes more consumed with his dreams of flying, he starts sharing his ambitions with a few individuals he trusts. One of them is Louise, a young girl who also lives in the dome and becomes Brewster's love interest. She supports and encourages him, finding the passion and determination within Brewster endearing.
However, Brewster's treatment of those who do not align with his plans is peculiar. He is known for manipulating and mistreating those who challenge or oppose him. It becomes evident when he clashes with fellow Astrodome occupants, including police Lieutenant Frank Shaft and his partner, Louise's guardian, as well as the eccentric characters that inhabit the stadium.
As Brewster continues his journey of self-discovery and pursuit of flight, he faces numerous obstacles and rebukes from the people around him. Yet, he remains steadfast in his determination to achieve his dream, operating with a single-minded focus that borders on obsession.
The film takes a surreal and satirical approach, blending fantasy elements with social commentary and dark humor. Altman uses Brewster's dream of flight as a metaphor for human ambition and the desire for escape from societal constraints. The Astrodome itself serves as a symbol of the restrictive world that Brewster seeks to transcend.
Ultimately, Brewster's journey leads to a dramatic and unexpected climax within the Astrodome. Without revealing too much of the plot, it challenges the viewers to question the price of chasing one's dreams and the consequences of ignoring the well-being and feelings of others.
