Hail, Caesar! movie quotes bring the laughs in the 2016 comedy film following a 1950s movie star who's been kidnapped from an ancient Rome film set. The Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan, write and directed the film, which opened the 2016 Berlin International Film Festival. Hail, Caesar! opened theatrically in the United States on February 5, 2016.
In Hail, Caesar!, Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin) serves as a fixer for everyone involved at Capitol Pictures, a big movie studio in the 1950s. He works to get his clients roles when needed, like he does for the horrible actor Hobie Doyle (Alden Ehrenreich), or hide their personal life from gossip columnists like Thora Thacker and Thessaly Thacker (both portrayed by Tilda Swinton), like he did when bombshell DeeAnna Moran (Scarlett Johansson) became pregnant.
So when Baird Whitlock (George Clooney) is kidnapped from the set of Hail, Caesar!, the studio's biggest film of the year, it's Mannix who springs into action. Mannix gathers Doyle and Moran, along with actor Burt Gurney (Channing Tatum) and director Laurence Laurentz (Ralph Fiennes), to gather the $100,000 demanded by the kidnappers and rescue Whitlock. But when Whitlock begins to side with his Communist captors, things get quite tricky.
Also starring Jonah Hill and Frances McDormand, Hail, Caesar! hit theaters also showing Kung Fu Panda 3, The Finest Hours, and The Revenant.
