Following the pope’s death, the world’s Catholic cardinals gather in Rome to elect a new pontiff, with four contenders looming large—a progressive (Stanley Tucci), a reactionary (Sergio Castellitto), a Vatican insider (John Lithgow), and a charismatic but hardline clergyman (Lucian Msamati). As the conflicted conclave dean (Ralph Fiennes) tries to guide the assembly toward a scandal-free outcome, a series of intrigues, twists, betrayals, and shocking revelations upend all expectations for the race.
