Academy Award-winning director Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, The Outsiders) is inviting audiences to join him live for a one-of-a-kind cinematic event this summer in select cities across the country.
Each evening includes a screening of Coppola’s monumental 2024 film Megalopolis, followed by an in-depth interactive discussion called “How To Change Our Future” with the legendary filmmaker and Q&A with the live audience. This special tour offers fans a rare opportunity to experience the film — not currently available on any streaming platform—exactly as Coppola intended.
“This is the way MEGALOPOLIS was meant to be seen, in a large venue, with a crowd and followed by intense interactive discussions about the future,” shared Coppola.

ABOUT MEGALOPOLOS:
Set in the futuristic city of New Rome, Megalopolis originally captivated audiences with its masterful filmmaking, becoming one of Francis Ford Coppola’s most widely discussed films. Architect and dreamer Cesar Catilina seeks a utopian future, while Mayor Franklyn Cicero fights to preserve the status quo—rife with greed and political warfare. Caught between these powerful forces is Julia Cicero, the mayor’s daughter, whose romance with Cesar tests her loyalty and compels her to redefine her beliefs about what humanity truly deserves. The film, which features an all-star cast including Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, and Aubrey Plaza, made its world premiere last year to a 10-minute standing ovation at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival and was released theatrically and in IMAX globally on September 27, 2024.
