Synopsis
When 93-year-old Thelma Post gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her.
Thelma is an “action” comedy unlike any other – exploring family, friendship, and aging, while being uniquely inspired by action movies like Mission: Impossible. Based on a real-life experience of writer/director Josh Margolin’s grandmother, it marks June Squibb’s first leading film role of her 70 year career, alongside break-out star Fred Hechinger, Parker Posey, Clark Gregg, and screen icon Richard Roundtree, in his final performance.
