From Warner Bros. Pictures and Academy Award-nominated, BAFTA-winning filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson comes “One Battle After Another,” starring Academy Award and BAFTA winner Leonardo DiCaprio.
One Battle After Another is adapted from Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel, Vineland and is the first collaboration between DiCaprio and director Anderson. Oscar and BAFTA winners Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn also star alongside Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor and Chase Infiniti, as well as Wood Harris and Alana Haim.

The film’s official logline is somewhat vague, stating, “When their evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years, a group of former revolutionaries reunites to rescue the daughter of one of their own.” In a W Magazine article by Claire Valentine, they make some educated guesses by turning to Pynchon’s novel. Vineland takes place in 1984, within a “zone of blessed anarchy in Northern California,” described as the last refuge of the hippie movement. The story unfolds through flashbacks, as characters reflect on the turbulent transition from the 1960s to the 1980s. However, one key battle is set in modern times, making it Anderson’s first film in decades to be set in the present day.
Anderson directs from his own screenplay, and produces alongside Oscar and BAFTA nominees Adam Somner and Sara Murphy, with Will Weiske executive producing.
The creative team behind the camera includes several frequent collaborators, among them directors of photography Michael Bauman and Anderson; Oscar-nominated, BAFTA-winning production designer Florencia Martin; BAFTA-nominated editor Andy Jurgensen; Oscar and BAFTA-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood; casting director Cassandra Kulukundis; and with music by Oscar- and BAFTA-nominated composer Jonny Greenwood.
