Please Stand By

Wendy (Dakota Fanning) sees things differently: She¹s fiercely independent, with a brilliant mind and a mischievous sense of hilarity. Wendy also has autism. To her, people are an indecipherable code and the world¹s a confusing place. She¹s always had a hard time figuring it all out and she just wants a chance to be accepted just like everybody else. But inspired by no-nonsense caregiver Scottie (Academy Award® Nominee Toni Collette), Wendy comes of age and escapes from her care home on the road-trip of a lifetime to deliver her 500-page Star Trek script to a Hollywood competition.
