Heartbeat

Director: John Carney | Ireland, USA, 2026, 98 min

Rick (Paul Rudd), frontman of a wedding band, meets fading pop star Danny (Nick Jonas) during one performance. A spontaneous late-night jam session and one song connect them - a few months later, the track unexpectedly climbs the global charts. Danny's career gets a second wind and he reaps all the glory, while Rick is left behind struggling for recognition he believes is rightfully his.

In his quest for the spotlight, he risks his relationships with family and friends. Heartbeat, written and directed by John Carney (Once, Sing Street, New York Romance), is a warm yet bittersweet story about music, ambition, and the price we sometimes pay for them.
