A Hologram for the King is a German-American film by Tom Tykwer (Alts of the Clouds, Perfume), based on the novel of the same name by Dave Eggers from 2012. The title role has been entrusted to Tom Hanks, who was last seen in the film Bridge of Spies. Hanks is one of only two actors to win two Oscars in a row, the first for his role in the drama Philadelphia, the second a year later for his role in the comedy drama Forrest Gump. This time, too, he starred in a touching comedy-drama, except that his character is still not so confused.
A Hologram for the King is a comedy drama in which we follow the exhausted trader Alan Clay (Tom Hanks), which goes to Saudi Arabia seal profitable IT contract for a mighty complex that will grow in the middle of the desert.
She is a lifeline for Clay, as bills for his daughter's college and personal bankruptcy hang over his head like a sword of Damocles, and he also hopes to finally do something important in his life.
