About Bottle Rocket

Fresh out of a mental hospital, Anthony finds himself drawn back into the orbit of his friend Dignan, whose grip on reality seems even looser. Dignan, brimming with audacious confidence, unveils his grand plan: a meticulously crafted crime spree, the details of which remain wonderfully vague. Central to this scheme is Dignan's former boss, the enigmatic Mr. Henry, a figure shrouded in supposed legend. Together, Anthony and Dignan, along with their loyal accomplice Bob, navigate a world of botched heists, ill-fated romances, and the unwavering belief in their own improbable success.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.
