The pope is dead. The throne is vacant. Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow and Isabella Rossellini star in Oscar-winning director Edward Berger’s (All Quiet on the Western Front) sensational Conclave, adapted from Robert Harris’s bestselling novel about one of the world’s most mysterious and ancient events – the selection of a new pope.



Cardinal Lawrence (Fiennes) is tasked with running the covert process after the unexpected demise of a beloved Pope. But once the world’s most powerful Catholic leaders have gathered and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence finds himself at the centre of a conspiracy, with an incendiary secret that could shake the very foundation of the Church.
