The film, directed by Edward Berger and based on Robert Harris' novel, shows the political maneuvering among cardinals as they vie for power. Viewership increased by 283% following the news of the pope's death. The film features a cast including Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci, and while it is not based on a true story, it draws inspiration from real events.
