Jubilee Plot Summary
What happens in Jubilee from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Queen Elizabeth I Jenny Runacre [is transported] by the occultist John Dee, who commands Ariel from The Tempest to bring her into the film’s present day. She lands in a ruined, mid-1970s Britain, moving through crumbling streets and a city that feels hollowed out by social and urban decay. The surrounding world is populated by a loose, aimless group of nihilists—mostly young women—whose lives are as fragmentary as the city around them, and among them are the provocatively named Amyl Nitrate, Bod, Chaos, Crabs and Mad, each contributing to a mood that is as anarchic as it is disenchanted.
