Los Angeles 2008. Southland Tales is a darkly comic, futuristic epic set over the course of three days as the city stands on the brink of social, economic and environmental disaster, in an America under the thumb of the sinister all-seeing agency US-Ident. A large ensemble cast of characters includes Boxer Santaros (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), an action star stricken with amnesia, Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Geller), a porn star with her own reality TV project, and Roland Taverner (Seann William Scott), a cop who holds the key to a vast conspiracy. Time travel, terrorism, and the end of the world collide with apocalyptic results in this dazzling film from the writer / director of Donnie Darko.
