Hoping that Tyler will help him reach his final destination to a famous wrestling school, Zak puts trust in his new companion. Together, the two men go through rivers and fields, enjoy fishing and drinking whiskey, and even escape a capture. A kind and caring social worker, Eleanor (Dakota Johnson) unexpectedly crosses path with them. At first, the young woman tries to convince Zak to go back to the nursing home. However, the sense of freedom and simple happiness touches Eleanor’s heart and she joins the quest to Zak’s dream.

" Shia LaBeouf is a debated personality, who on several occasions has become noticed for other things than his acting career. However, he is undoubtedly a talented actor and he has been in both great Blockbusters such as ’Transformers’ and ’Indiana Jones’, but also taken on roles in smaller indie productions. Right now, he is starring in such a role as Tyler in ’The Peanut Butter Falcon’. The movies premiers in Danish cinema on the 12th of March and revolves around the unexpected pair Tyler and Zack, who are both on the run but with different goals.
