One of the greatest directors of all-time, Francis Ford Coppola - world-renowned for The Godfather trilogy, The Conversation, and Apocalypse Now - finally presents his great, decades-in-the-making passion project to cinemas.
Megalopolis is a Roman Epic fable set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, which causes a bitter conflict between Cesar Catilina, a genius artist who seeks to leap forward into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between the rivals is socialite Julia Cicero, the mayor's daughter, whose passionate love for Cesar continues to divide her loyalties. Now embroiled in the feud, she's forced to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.
For his magnum opus, Coppola has amassed an almighty ensemble cast that includes Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Talia Shire, Laurence Fishburne, Jason Schwartzman, Kathryn Hunter, Grace VanderWaal, Chloe Fineman, James Remar, D.B. Sweeney, and Dustin Hoffman.
