Babylon tells the story of a young and passionate woman who dreams of becoming a movie star during the late 1920s in Hollywood. The film also focuses on a number of different characters as they witness the industry's tumultuous transition from silent cinema to talkies.

Here's the official synopsis of the movie, according to Paramount Pictures' YouTube channel:

''From Damien Chazelle, Babylon is an original epic set in 1920s Los Angeles led by Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie and Diego Calva, with an ensemble cast including Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li and Jean Smart. A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, it traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.''

The film received highly polarizing reviews from fans and critics, with many praising the film's visual aesthetics, production design, and performances by the cast, but criticizing its plot and overall approach to the story. It was also a commercial failure.

The movie stars Margot Robbie in one of the major roles, along with Brad Pitt, Diego Calva, and Jean Smart, among numerous others, playing significant supporting roles. The film is written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Damien Chazelle, who's best known for films like La La Land and Whiplash.
