The Eagle's Wisdom is a 2024 American epic action film directed and co-produced by Christopher Nolan from a screenplay by him and his brother Jonathan Nolan. Produced by RatPac-Dune Entertainment and distributed by Paramount Pictures Releasing, it is the first installment in the Chronicles of the White Eagle film series. The film stars David Arquette, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Anthony Mackie, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Leonardo DiCaprio, James Marsden, and Michael Caine. The film suffered a difficult production; it was delayed several times, from 2016 to 2020 until its release was announced. The Eagle's Wisdom was released to largely positive reviews, with critics widely acclaiming the visual effects, the dark and emotional tone, musical score, cinematography, action sequences, direction, and the performances, particularly those of Hathaway, Arquette, and Abdul-Mateen. It also grossed $85 million against a $1.5 million budget and attained a strong cult following. A sequel is in development.
