Thrilling and Fun New Trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER
Warner Bros has released the second official trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming film One Battle After Another, and it looks like Anderson’s most action-driven project yet.
The movie promises an intense blend of political intrigue and personal stakes. The story follows Bob Ferguson, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, a former revolutionary on a desperate mission to rescue his daughter after she’s arrested.
The official logline reads: “When their evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years, a group of ex-revolutionaries reunites to rescue one of their own's daughter.”
The movie is inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s postmodern novel Vineland, and it feels like a gripping mix of Anderson’s meticulous character work and explosive, large-scale action.
The cast includes Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Benicio del Toro as “Sensei,” Shayna McHayle, and Chase Infiniti as Ferguson’s daughter.
The new trailer teases more character dynamics and escalating tension, all leading toward a high-stakes showdown between Bob and the feds. As one might expect from PTA, the visuals are rich with grit and atmosphere, and the tone hints at a slow-burn thriller that explodes into chaos when the moment comes.
