When scientists find a way to shrink humans to five inches tall, Paul Safranek (Academy Award winner Matt Damon, “Good Will Hunting”) and his wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig, “Bridesmaids”) decide to ditch their stressed-out lives in order to get small and live large in a luxurious downsized community. Filled with life-changing adventures and endless possibilities, Leisureland offers more than riches, as Paul discovers a whole new world and realizes that we are meant for something bigger.
