Summary:

In this thrilling and darkly comedic vision of the near future, Bob Ferguson (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a retired freedom fighter and revolutionary who once acted as part of the “French 75.” More than a decade after the group disbanded, an old enemy in the form of Colonel Stephen Lockjaw (Sean Penn) resurfaces with sinister intent. As the former members of the “75” consider reuniting to rescue Bob’s kidnapped daughter, a series of battles across back streets, deserted roads, and a blasted out suburbia may have enormous implications for the future of the nation. Loosely adapted from the novel “Vineland” by legendary postmodern American writer Thomas Pynchon, “One Battle After Another” is in equal parts astute satire, pulse-pounding thrill ride, intimate drama, and urgent clarion call to a divided nation.

Starring:

Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Chase Infiniti, Teyana Taylor, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall.
