Displaying and echoing arrays

I don't understand what it is that I am doing wrong...

index.php 
<?php

    $movie = [];
$movie =[
"title" => "The Empire Strikes Back"

];
?>

<h1>
  <?php

      echo $movie["title"];

  ?> (1985)</h1>

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Director</th>
    <td>Robert Zemeckis</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>IMDB Rating</th>
    <td>8.5</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>IMDB Ranking</th>
    <td>53</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Hey No need for the first $movie = []; in this case.

Your code should look like this:

$movie =[ "title" => "The Empire Strikes Back", ];

echo $movie['title'];

Also worth to try: echo $movie[0];

Hope that helps

Ps. A quick way to display things is: <?= $movie['title']; ?>
