How do you achieve a dream that no one respects? Timothée Chalamet (Dune) is fictional table tennis star Marty Mauser—a brash prodigy who is determined to win America's respect for his sport … or die trying. 

Relentless in his pursuit, he travels the world competing in this exhilarating globetrotting adventure reminiscent of Catch Me If You Can. Gwyneth Paltrow joins the fun, playing a movie star and target of Marty's ambitions. Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher lend their support in this high-energy period piece, visually rooted in mid-century New York. With its signature kinetic style, Josh Safdie's first solo directing endeavor is a manic, madcap odyssey of ambition, resilience and reinvention.
