Southland Tales

ComedyDramaMysterySci-FiThriller145 min

On July 4, 2008, Los Angeles is edging toward social, economic, and environmental collapse when amnesiac action star Boxer Santaros finds himself at the center of a widening conspiracy. Dwayne Johnson is Boxer, whose path crosses with Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Krysta Now, an adult-film celebrity building her own reality-TV project, and Hermosa Beach officer Ronald Taverner (Seann William Scott), whose tangled circumstances may connect the whole thing. Richard Kelly folds celebrity culture, political paranoia, and end-times dread into an alternate-timeline Southland of blackmail, riots, strange doubles, and a city that feels like it’s tipping into chaos.
