Plot Synopsis:

An accident destroys a decaying metropolis called New Rome. Cesar Catilina (Driver), an idealist architect with the power to control time, aims to rebuild it as a sustainable utopia, while his opposition, corrupt Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Esposito), remains committed to a regressive status quo. Torn between them is Franklyn’s socialite daughter, Julia, who, tired of the influence she inherited, searches for her life’s meaning and to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.

Megalopolis does not have a release date yet but will premiere in competition at Cannes on May 16, 2024.
