The Birdcage is the outrageous comedy with a twist that is based on the French film La Cage Aux Folles. Williams and Lane star as homosexual lovers Armand and Albert. When Armand’s son arrives home and announces his engagement to the daughter of an ultra-conservative U.S. Senator, what choice do they have but to support his decision? When Senator Keeley (Hackman) and his wife (Wiest) visit future in-laws, Armand and Albert attempt to play out the roles of the typical American husband and “wife.”
