dynamically updates the content based on the selected movie. Handles
errors using a try-catch block. HTML Template: Defines an HTML
template for a movie card using the template element.
Event Listeners: Attaches event listeners to buttons, triggering
functions like displayMovies and

Bootstrap modal structure for displaying detailed information about
a movie. Uses a combination of Bootstrap classes for styling and
