Description: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a 2019 film set in the late 1960s. The story begins with a scene from an old Western TV series called “Bounty Law,” featuring Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) as Jake Cahill, a bounty hunter. An interview follows with Rick and his stunt double, Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), who explains his role as Rick’s support.
Rick and Cliff meet producer Marvin Schwarz (Al Pacino) at a restaurant. Marvin praises Rick’s past work, referencing his roles as an action star and a soldier who uses a flamethrower against Nazis. He also mentions a cheesy music video Rick appeared in. Despite Rick’s success, his alcoholism has led to the cancellation of “Bounty Law,” and he now takes on villain roles in shows like “Lancer.” Marvin suggests Rick move to Italy to star in Spaghetti Westerns, leaving Rick feeling defeated about his declining career.
Later, Cliff drives Rick home, where they discover their new neighbors are director Roman Polanski (Rafal Zawierucha) and his wife, actress Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie). Hopeful for a career boost, Rick rehearses his lines for “Lancer,” while Cliff returns to his trailer to spend time with his dog, Brandy.
Meanwhile, Polanski and Sharon attend a party at the Playboy Mansion, mingling with friends like Jay Sebring (Emile Hirsch), Steve McQueen (Damien Lewis), and Michelle Phillips (Rebecca Rittenhouse). The film captures the nostalgia and shifting dynamics of Hollywood during this era.
