Leonardo DiCaprio leads electrifying Paul Thomas Anderson thriller ‘One Battle After Another'
Warner Bros has dropped the explosive second official trailer for One Battle After Another, the upcoming action-packed political thriller from celebrated filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson. Set to hit theatres on September 26, 2025, the film promises a gripping blend of high-stakes drama, unflinching action, and philosophical introspection, rooted in the ideologies of revolution and redemption. Drawing inspiration from Thomas Pynchon's cult postmodern novel Vineland (1990), One Battle After Another explores the aftermath of radical activism. The story follows a group of aging former revolutionaries who have long retreated into anonymity, only to be pulled back into conflict when their old enemy reappears after 16 years. With one of their own facing personal tragedy—a kidnapped daughter—they band together for one last mission, confronting not just their foe, but the bitter reckoning with their own beliefs and past betrayals. The film boasts a powerhouse ensemble including Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Benicio del Toro, Shayna McHayle, and Chase Infiniti. Anderson, known for his distinctive blend of character-driven drama and visual stylization, infuses this political narrative with emotional weight and kinetic tension. The newly released trailer offers glimpses of explosive confrontations, covert operations, and a simmering ideological war—set against a stylized, almost surreal American backdrop. With its charged political undercurrent and themes of loyalty, disillusionment, and resistance, the film explores how far one will go to protect their principles—or bury them. Written and directed by Anderson, and produced alongside Sara Murphy and Adam Somner, One Battle After Another is shaping up to be one of 2025's most provocative cinematic offerings.

Paul Thomas Anderson's Leonardo DiCaprio-Led ‘One Battle After Another' Gets Beyoncé-Backed Trailer
The 'Boogie Nights' auteur's latest hits theaters this September 'One Battle After Another' is inching closer, and the film dropped a new trailer Thursday to keep up the excitement. Paul Thomas Anderson's new film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro (among others), arrives in theaters on Sept. 26. And after an enigmatic trailer and some smaller clips (including one that is currently playing before 'Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair' at the Vista in Los Angeles), a new trailer has debuted online. Watch it below. More from TheWrap The 8 Best New Movies and Shows to Stream This Weekend on Netflix, Hulu and More 'The Home' Review: Subpar Pete Davidson Thriller Tries to Put the 'Boo' in Boomers How Mattel Studios President and Chief Content Officer Robbie Brenner Is Crafting a Post-'Barbie' Slate Park Chan-wook's Venice-Bound 'No Other Choice' Gets First Trailer Clearly this is more in line with what you would imagine a studio-cut trailer to be. It more explicitly spells out the plot, with DiCaprio's Bob starting out as a more passionate revolutionary and rejoining the fray after his child (Chase Infiniti from Apple's 'Presumed Innocent' series) is abducted by a psychopathic colonel (Penn). It's even set to a jaunty Beyoncé tune most closely associated with the presidential campaign for Kamala Harris. Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor and Anderson's 'Licorice Pizza' breakout Alana Haim co-star in 'One Battle After Another,' which is loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel 'Vineland.' Anderson has some experiencing adapting Pynchon, having made 2014's 'Inherent Vice' (based on Pynchon's 2009 detective novel). 'One Battle After Another' isn't a direct adaptation, with the novel set in 1984 and reflecting on the counterculture movement of the 1960's, but seems like an interpolation of themes and ideas similarly explored in the novel. This is Anderon's tenth feature as a director and follows 2021's 'Licorice Pizza,' which netted the filmmaker Best Director and Best Original Screenplay Oscar nominations and the movie a Best Picture nomination. Much has been made about the movie's budget, which is said to be more than $140 million, and its long road to profitability, given that Anderson's highest grossing movie, 2007's 'There Will Be Blood,' made less than $80 million worldwide. But with 'Sinners' and 'F1,' both original movies (and both, like 'One Battle After Another,' Warner Bros. releases), making money at the box office, there is hope yet for the auteur's latest. 'One Battle After Another' arrives in theaters on Sept. 26. The post Paul Thomas Anderson's Leonardo DiCaprio-Led 'One Battle After Another' Gets Beyoncé-Backed Trailer appeared first on TheWrap.
