The 2025 film One Battle After Another, directed and written by Paul Thomas Anderson, was adapted from Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel, Vineland. The movie’s premise of a father-daughter relationship and ex-revolutionaries revisiting their activist past is based on the novel’s plot, but the book and film are set in different eras. The film also drew influence from real-life revolutionary movements and events such as the Weather Underground in the 1960s and the policies of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the 21st century.
