The first official trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming film One Battle After Another has arrived, setting the stage for a high-stakes journey of resistance, redemption, and personal reckoning. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Bob Ferguson, a former revolutionary who thought he’d left the fight behind—until an old threat resurfaces, pulling him back into the world he tried to escape.
Set in the politically charged landscape of 1980s California, the film explores themes of lost ideals, family loyalty, and the echoes of the past. DiCaprio is joined by an ensemble cast including Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Alana Haim, and Shayna McHayle. Each character seems entangled in a web of unfinished business, hinting at a rich tapestry of intersecting stories.
One Battle After Another was filmed on location across California and Texas, capturing the gritty realism and nostalgia of its time period. Shot on 35mm with VistaVision cameras, the film aims for a cinematic experience rooted in both visual texture and narrative depth. It marks another ambitious chapter in Anderson’s already iconic filmography.
The film is slated for theatrical and IMAX release on September 26, 2025.
