The movie dominating the conversation with the most nominations for the upcoming Golden Globe Awards is about to make its global streaming debut. Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest feature, One Battle After Another, has secured a staggering nine nominations, outpacing every other film this season.

Viewers do not have to wait long to experience the acclaimed title, as it arrives exclusively on HBO Max this Friday, December 19. For those who prefer traditional television, the movie is scheduled to air on the linear HBO channel on December 28 at 8 p.m.

The film features an impressive ensemble cast led by Leonardo DiCaprio, who delivers one of the most challenging performances of his career. He is joined by heavyweights Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro, as well as Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor, all of whom contribute to the movie’s powerhouse reputation.

Written, directed, and produced by Anderson, the story centers on former political radicals grappling with the compromises of middle age and their fading ideals.
