Trailer & Synopsis
From director John Carney (Once, Sing Street, Begin Again) comes POWER BALLAD, a warm, sharp and music-fuelled comedy about ambition, ego and the intoxicating lure of one perfect song. Starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, Carney once again finds the sweet spot between crowd-pleasing charm and heartfelt emotional truth, wrapped in irresistible melodies and big-screen feel-good energy.
When wedding band frontman Rick (Rudd) drunkenly improvises a song with washed-up former boy-band star Danny (Jonas) after a chance encounter, it feels like nothing more than a fleeting late-night jam. But six months later, Rick is stunned to discover their impromptu creation has become a global smash, with Danny taking all the credit as the track catapults him back into superstardom.
As Danny’s career soars and Rick becomes increasingly desperate to claim his share of the spotlight, POWER BALLAD strikes a bittersweet chord about fame, friendship and what success really costs. Funny, soulful and full of Carney’s signature musical magic, it’s a joyous crowd-pleaser for anyone who’s ever wondered what might have been.
Power Ballad is showing in cinemas since May 21, 2026 to June 19, 2026
