If you want to know when One Battle After Another is coming to streaming, then we have the answer for you right here. The latest film from acclaimed director Paul Thomas Anderson was a huge critical hit when it released in cinemas earlier this year, and is hotly-tipped as a strong contender for the Best Picture award at the next Oscars.

Loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland, One Battle After Another stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob, a former revolutionary who has given up his radical lifestyle in order to look after his teenage daughter. But as the title suggests, the war isn't over for Bob just yet, and he's about to be pulled back into the fray. The film also stars Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn, Regina Hall, and Teyana Taylor.
