    This query uses a query expression based on the movie title.

  2. Prepare an update expression to insert an element into the array. As the cast array must be unique, use $addToSet, as follows:
        db.movies.findOneAndUpdate(
            {"title" : "Jurassic World"},
            {$addToSet : {"cast" : "Nick Robinson"}}
