Set in the charged world of 1950s American ping-pong, Marty Supreme follows Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet), a charismatic, ruthless, and unconventional table-tennis prodigy determined to turn an unlikely talent into greatness. Rising from the gritty streets of New York, Marty gambles everything on a dream no one around him respects.

Along his climb, he becomes entangled with a glamorous older film star who challenges his guarded nature (Gwyneth Paltrow) and crosses paths with a host of eccentric figures – an unpredictable musical showman (Tyler Okonma), a sharp-tongued hustler (Kevin O’Leary), a volatile mentor with a shadowy past (Abel Ferrara), and an outspoken entertainer who becomes an unexpected ally (Fran Drescher).

As Marty pushes deeper into the competitive circuit, his obsession threatens to consume him, forcing him to confront what he’s willing to sacrifice for a shot at legendary status.
