The eagerly anticipated, freewheeling latest from modern filmmaking luminary Paul Thomas Anderson features a terrific cast, including Leonardo DiCaprio, newcomer Chase Infiniti, Teyana Taylor, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall and Sean Penn.
The story centers on washed-up revolutionary Bob (DiCaprio), who exists in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). When a figure from his past (Penn) resurfaces after 16 years and she goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her.

‘A ferocious American masterpiece.’
- Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent
“One Battle After Another,” as great an American movie as I’ve seen this year, doesn’t simply meet the moment; with extraordinary tenderness, fury, and imagination, it forges a moment all its own, and insists that better ones could still lie ahead." - Justin Chang, The New Yorker
