Hologram for the King, A

When a divorced, down-on-his-luck IT executive (Tom Hanks) leaves Boston for Saudi Arabia to set up a holographic sales pitch with his team (Ben Whishaw, Megan Maczko, and Jon Donahue) for the king in this engaging, well-acted, quirky, 97-minute film based on Dave Eggers' 2012 novel, he finds himself roaming the desert with a taxi driver (Waleed Elgadi), frustrated by absentee Arabic executives (Dhaffer L'Abidine, et al.), and falling for a doctor (Sarita Choudhury) who treats him for a nasty cyst on his back.
