The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Emile Hirsch, Margaret Qualley, Timothy Olyphant, Austin Butler, Dakota Fanning, Bruce Dern, and Al Pacino. They and others comprise a large all-star cast who star in "multiple storylines in a modern fairy tale tribute to the final moments of Hollywood's golden age". The film is set in 1969 Los Angeles, where an aging television actor and his stunt double and longtime friend navigate the changing Hollywood film industry

Announced in July 2017, it is the first Tarantino film not distributed by Bob and Harvey Weinstein, Tarantino having cut ties following the sexual abuse allegations against Harvey Weinstein that October. After winning a bidding war, the film was instead distributed by Sony Pictures, which met several of Tarantino's demands including final cut privilege. Pitt, DiCaprio, and Robbie, and Tarantino regulars such as Zoë Bell and Kurt Russell joined the cast between January and June 2018. Principal photography lasted from that June through November around Los Angeles. It is the last film to feature Luke Perry, who died in March 2019.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on July 26, 2019 and in the United Kingdom on August 14, 2019. The Hollywood Reporter wrote that critics had "an overall positive view" of the film, calling it "Tarantino's love letter to '60s L.A." and praising its casting choices and setting, though some were "divided on its ending".
