Presented as a tribute to the delightful Shelley Duvall! Brewster McCloud isn't your normal sort of boy. He resides in a nuclear fallout shelter in the Houston Astrodome. He labors to make a set of wings that he hopes will allow him to fly, and is supported in his oddball mission by the maternal Louise. But when the boy's enemies start dying off, he becomes the object of an investigation by Police Det. Lt. Frank Shaft.
