Set in and around a faded old cinema in an English coastal town in the early 1980s, Empire of Light follows Hilary (Olivia Colman) a cinema manager struggling with her mental health, and Stephen (Micheal Ward), a new employee who longs to escape this provincial town in which he faces daily adversity.
Both Hilary and Stephen find a sense of belonging through their unlikely and tender relationship and come to experience the healing power of music, cinema, and community. The film is directed by Sam Mendes and co-stars Toby Jones and Colin Firth.
