Southland Tales is a 2006 science fiction movie set in a near future, dystopian version of Los Angeles. The movie is directed by Richard Kelly and features an ensemble cast including Dwayne Johnson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Seann William Scott. The movie is set in a post-apocalyptic world where California has been devastated by a nuclear attack. The US government has become increasingly authoritarian in response to the attack, and a mysterious energy source called "Fluid Karma" has become the focus of a power struggle between various political and military factions.

The plot follows several interconnected storylines that take place over the course of three days leading up to a potentially catastrophic event. Dwayne Johnson plays Boxer Santaros, an amnesiac movie star who becomes embroiled in a conspiracy involving a terrorist group, a neo-Marxist movement, and the US government. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays Krysta Now, a porn star who has written a screenplay that seems to predict the future, and Seann William Scott plays Roland Taverner, a pair of twin brothers who are both police officers.

The movie is known for its complex, nonlinear narrative structure and its use of satire and social commentary. It incorporates elements of science fiction, film noir, and musicals, and features a wide variety of cultural references and intertextual connections.

Overall, Southland Tales is a thought-provoking and ambitious movie that challenges viewers to think about the ways in which politics, media, and technology shape our lives in the modern world. It is a movie that rewards multiple viewings and encourages discussion and debate.
