The Uprising (2026) is a high-stakes dystopian thriller set in a crumbling near-future society where extreme economic disparity has pushed the working class to the brink of collapse. The narrative centers on a clandestine resistance movement led by an unlikely group of underground operatives who orchestrate a coordinated revolt against a totalitarian regime. As the city descends into chaos, the film explores themes of systemic injustice, moral ambiguity, and the high cost of freedom. Visually striking and intense, the story follows the escalation from isolated protests to an all-out civil confrontation, forcing the protagonists to choose between their personal survival and the potential liberation of their people. By blending gritty action sequences with complex political commentary, The Uprising examines the psychological toll of revolution and the enduring power of collective defiance in the face of absolute authority.
In May 2022, it was announced that Paul Greengrass would write and direct the film then-titled The Hood, with Benedict Cumberbatch set to star and FilmNation Entertainment and Tyler Thompson of Cross Creek Pictures attached as producers.
In February 2025, the film was officially retitled to The Rage. Matthew McConaughey replaced Benedict Cumberbatch as the lead actor, and Jason Blum of Blumhouse-Atomic Monster joined as a producer, replacing the outgoing team of Tyler Thompson and Cross Creek Pictures.
During June 2025, it was announced that actress Thomasin McKenzie had officially joined the ensemble cast of the production.
On September 11, 2026, the film The Uprising is scheduled to have its official theatrical release in the United States, distributed by Focus Features.
