The 2023 film "Napoleon" is an epic historical drama that was directed and produced by Ridley Scott and written by David Scarpa. It is based on the story of Napoleon Bonaparte, primarily depicting the French leader's rise to power as well as his relationship with Empress Joséphine. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon and Vanessa Kirby as Joséphine. At a telling point (a game-changing statement) in the film about John Hollingworth (Marshal Ney) as "the bravest of the brave" is made by Napoleon (Phoenix). It is a strong idea where one even as an opponent reels with amazement at someone else's brilliance.

The film itself is one where the cinematography was by Dariusz Wolski, editing by Claire Simpson and Sam Restivo, and music by Martin Phipps. With the screenplay, in addition to writing from Scarpa, Scott was a frequent collaborator. Filming of the movie project actually began in February 2022 in England, lasting several months.

Napoleon premiered at Salle Pleyel in Paris in November 2023, and was released in the US and the UK on November 22, 2023, by Columbia Pictures and Apple Original Films.
