Yes, Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2025 film One Battle After Another was partly inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel Vineland. Anderson’s screenplay is loosely adapted from the novel’s plot, which centers on an ex-hippie in northern California, his teenage daughter, and her long-absent former 1960s radical mother. The film, however, changes the characters’ names and the story’s setting from the 1980s to the early 21st century.
