We're about to see a heck of lot more video game movies. The superhero genre, which proved to be Hollywood's most powerful weapon in wrenching kids away from their iPads and YouTube for more than a decade, is waning. Meanwhile, the industry continues its struggle to adapt to the streaming age in a pandemic era where people are really only attending the multiplex for event films. But with "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" becoming one of the highest-grossing films ever and "A Minecraft Movie" also crushing it at the box office, it seems video games are the new superheroes.

"Five Nights at Freddy's," the "Sonic" movies, and even "Fallout" and "The Last of Us" on the TV side of things. This is the new era we find ourselves in, where video game IP becomes the new font for all Hollywood's ideas. But this is very much the reverse of how...

This month, you can find lots of new movies and shows added to Hulu. From classic hits like Alien and Big Fish to new series like Call Her Alex and The Snake, there’s something for everyone.

Don’t miss popular Hulu Originals like Predator: Killer of Killers and Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything. Plus, some favorites like Christmas with the Campbells will be leaving soon, so be sure to watch before they go!

Let’s check out the full list.

The Alien franchise is one of the biggest and most important sci-fi and horror franchises of all time. Started by Ridley Scott, the franchise has since grown to include various movie sequels and prequels, games, comic books, television series, and so on.

Of course, the fans want a “piece of the cake” in terms of the narrative, not the money, which inspired us to write this report about a fan work that looks both interesting and professional.

Namely, the short fan movie Alien: Lost Transmission has just been released, and we believe it is chillingly good!

While the Max rebrand back to HBO Max has the streaming world in a tizzy, it’s worth remembering the significance of keeping diverse subscriptions. While “Hacks” and “The Last of Us” wrap up over on that side of your library, the Hulu and Disney bundle is essential for maximizing this summer’s offerings.

Disney+ continues to be the go-to streamer for family friendly viewing options; this month, they’ll add the official “Frozen” Broadway musical to that library, along with Marvel’s “Ironheart,” about Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) who was introduced in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

Hulu has everything you need for an “Alien” movie marathon, all to gear up for FX’s “Alien: Earth” which premieres in August. You could also do a “Mamma Mia!” marathon or “Bachelor” binge — we’re not here to judge.

Alien: Earth is ready to hit screens at last this summer, and we've finally got a date and first look at it!

In the annals of sci-fi movies, Alien is one of the standards of the genre. 1979's Alien was a masterpiece, as Ridley Scott directed the tale of a starship crew member who discovered a huge alien ship. They end up finding the Xenomorphs, twisted monsters who can lay eggs inside humans and grow into horrific, multi-clawed and toothed figures with acid for blood. 

The movie was a hit, with James Cameron's 1986 sequel, Aliens, even bigger. It boosted Sigourney Weaver to stardom and continued with numerous sequels, including 2024's Alien: Romulus. Now, after years of talk, we've got a date and first look at the long-awaited TV adaptation Alien: Earth that finally brings the creatures to our world!

This week, FX finally unveiled a bunch of new information for Alien: Earth, its upcoming Alien television series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley. Alien: Earth is prequel show set around two years before the original Alien film, when a ship bearing the iconic sci-fi monster crash lands on Earth. Up until recently, that was about all we knew about the series, at least from a plot perspective. But now we've got a lot more to go over. Let's break down everything we know about Alien: Earth.

Alien: Earth release date and episode count

Alien: Earth will premiere on Tuesday, August 12 at 8:00 p.m. Est on Hulu as well as, presumably, its sister streaming service Disney+, and 8:00 p.m. Et/Pt on FX.

The show's first season consists of eight episodes total, with the first two dropping on the premiere date. After that, one episode will air a week...

Disney+ ha anunciado la fecha de estreno de la esperadísima serie Alien: Planeta Tierra, que expandirá (una vez más) el icónico universo cinematográfico de la saga Alien, creada por Ridley Scott, al mismo tiempo que traerá al temible xenomorfo al entorno más familiar –y terrorífico– posible: nuestro querido planeta Tierra. Así es, todo un hito, porque será la primera vez que veremos a la criatura en nuestro hogar.

En Alien: Planeta Tierra, cuando una misteriosa nave espacial se estrella en la Tierra, una joven y un variopinto grupo de soldados tácticos hacen un fatídico descubrimiento que les enfrentará cara a cara con la mayor amenaza del planeta. Mientras los miembros del equipo de rescate buscan supervivientes entre los escombros, se topan con misteriosas formas de vida depredadoras, más terroríficas de lo que jamás hubieran imaginado. Tras conocer esta nueva amenaza, el equipo de búsqueda debe luchar por la supervivencia.

A new Sydney Sweeney movie is on the horizon. Lionsgate has just released the first trailer for Americana, a comedic crime thriller that boasts an ensemble comprised of several recognizable (and talented) actors.

More than two years after its world premiere at South by Southwest, and just over a year after Lionsgate acquired it, Americana is finally gearing up to be released to the public later this year. The first trailer perfectly establishes what this modern-day western will be about, introducing an assortment of colorful characters who are all out to gain possession of a rare Native American artifact. Joining Sweeney as co-lead of Americana is Paul Walter Hauser, who audiences will see in theaters before this movie arrives in the highly anticipated The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The all-star cast also includes Sweeney's Euphoria co-star Eric Dane and Grammy-nominated singer Halsey. Check out the trailer and poster for Americana below.

Still no sign of a full trailer, but FX has announced an official premiere date for Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth, will is set to debut on August 13 with a double episode (the first season runs for 8 in total).

We also have a new poster featuring a Xenomorph, some promo stills spotlighting the main characters, and an updated synopsis which reveals quite a bit of intriguing new information about the show.

We knew that Alien: Earth would take place before Ridley Scott's original film, but based on this logline, the show will be set just two years prior to the events of the first Alien. It's also come to light that Syndey Chandler's character, Wendy, is actually a prototype android.

Over the course of a her 60-plus-year career, which began when she appeared as a child actor in director William Wyler‘s 1961 drama “The Children’s Hour” alongside Shirley MacLaine and Audrey Hepburn, Veronica Cartwright has, in addition to many other roles, starred in some of the most memorable horror films ever made. She worked with Alfred Hitchcock on “The Birds,” Ridley Scott on “Alien,” and Philip Kaufman on his terrifying remake of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” just to name a few.

Now, Cartwright has returned to the horror genre for writer/director Stevan Mena’s “The Ruse,” and in it she gives one of the best performances of her career as a dementia-afflicted musician whose home contains myriad mysteries for the young nurse (Madelyn Dundon) who has taken a job as her caregiver. As the nurse is terrorized by numerous unexplained occurrences, she tries to figure out if the house is haunted,...

Professional athletes, like fine wines, only get better at public speaking with age. Patrick Mahomes and Saquon Barkley might need a little more time in the bottle.

Booking the NFL stars to open Tuesday’s Disney upfront was a clear win on paper, but it made for a rather low-energy opener. (Was Barkley’s dialogue that lifeless when he was on the links with Donald Trump?) Fortunately, the duo was an outlier. After Bob Iger, who prophetically walked out to Bruce Springsteen’s “Burn to Run” made his second consecutive upfront appearance, the program proceeded with a slew of trailers, quite a bit of the Manning brothers, and the obligatory closing remarks from Jimmy Kimmel.

“Bob Iger has passionately led Disney for 20 years,” remarked Kimmel, “and reluctantly for three.”

We are officially just a few weeks away from entering the new era of Man of Steel. James Gunn has successfully rebooted the DC Universe, bringing in a new Superman that has left the fandom divided. While some believe that the upcoming Superman (2025) is going to be groundbreaking, others are still upset over the loss of Henry Cavill’s title. Either way, there is a lot of buzz surrounding the movie, and we totally get why.

Here’s your no-fluff, all-facts breakdown of everything you need to know about Superman. From the cast list to plot teasers, and when you’ll finally be able to see it in theaters, check it out below.

FX is bringing the heat with a trio of new and returning series that will keep you glued to your screens, so mark your calendars, people. This exciting lineup has something for everyone, from the gritty pursuit of truth to the terrifying deep space encounters to the high-stakes culinary world. First up, prepare to return to The Bear’s chaotic yet captivating kitchen for its highly anticipated fourth season, starring Emmy Winner Jeremy Allen White as Carmy Berzatto.

With the familiar faces of Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, and the ever-charismatic Matty Matheson returning, expect a season packed with challenges, adaptations, and crucial decisions about what truly matters. The pursuit of excellence is on,...

In 2020, Disney announced they were developing an expansion of the Alien universe that would bring the property to the small screen. Five years later, we finally have some major movement to report. Hulu, in partnership with the FX network, has announced an impending release date for the new series, titled Alien: Earth, and even shared some stills for good measure!

The cable channel and the streamer will each broadcast the first two episodes of Alien: Earth, which is a prequel to Alien, on August 12, 2025, at 8 Pm Eastern. The show’s first season consists of a total of eight episodes, with the remaining six installments airing on both platforms on Tuesday nights in the same time slot. Disney+ will handle international distribution of the upcoming series.

If you’re keen for a peek at the visual aesthetic of the upcoming program, you can scope a sampling of the newly released images...

20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios) had just become home to the hottest sci-fi franchise in Hollywood in the late 1970s with "Star Wars" when it unexpectedly found itself the proud parent of a second, scarier, much more adult series in "Alien." The brainchild of legendary genre screenwriter Dan O'Bannon (and directed to stylish perfection by Ridley Scott), "Alien" jolted audiences with its chest-burster scare and kept them utterly terrified until Sigourney Weaver's Ripley expelled the big, acid-blooded Xenomorph into deep space.

When "Alien" became a box office smash, Fox knew there was more money to be mined from these sleek black buggers. Indeed, that was at the heart of James Cameron's famous pitch for "Aliens," where, legend has it, he scribbled the word "Alien" down on a cocktail napkin before adding a dollar sign as the "s." While Cameron delivered the goods and then some with his sequel,...

“Alien: Earth” is another new live-action science fiction horror TV series based on the “Alien” movie franchise, set 30 years before the events of Ridley Scott’s 1979 film “Alien”, starring Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Essie Davis and Adarsh Gourav, streaming August 12, 2025 on Hulu and Disney+ :

Gestation is complete, and the birth of a new chapter for the Alien franchise is imminent! Today, FX and Hulu revealed a bunch of new details and images for Alien: Earth, its upcoming prequel series from the mind of Fargo creator Noah Hawley. As a life-long Alien fan, I've been hanging on every bit of news we've been able to get for this series; even then, its story and characters have largely remained a mystery. No more!

According to Deadline, Alien: Earth will premiere on Tuesday, August 12 at 8pm Et on Hulu and 8pm Et/Pt on FX. Yes, Alien: Earth is dropping both on streaming and linear television; the Xenomorph is taking over all the channels of communication! It cannot be stopped!

We’ve been waiting for the debut of Noah Hawley‘s “Alien: Earth” series for ages, and we now know when the sci-fi horror spinoff series focusing on the deep space research vessel Uscss Maginot (housing all sorts of deadly alien species) crash-lands on Earth will debut. The highly anticipated next chapter in the beloved “Alien” universe will have a two-episode premiere on August 12.

FX was also nice enough to share with The Playlist a batch of new images from “Alien: Earth,” finally highlighting the cast of the show, which includes Sydney Chandler (Wendy), Timothy Olyphant (Kirsh), Alex Lawther (Hermit), Samuel Blenkin (Boy Kavalier), Babou Ceesay (Morrow), Adrian Edmondson (Atom Eins), David Rysdahl (Arthur Sylvia), Essie Davis (Dame Sylvia), Lily Newmark (Nibs), Erana James (Curly), Adarsh Gourav (Slightly), Jonathan Ajayi (Smee), Kit Young (Tootles), Diêm Camille (Siberian), Moe Bar-El (Rashidi) and Sandra Yi Sencindiver (Yutani).

You just can’t keep a good Xenomorph down, can you? Last year brought the return of cinema’s scariest extraterrestrial franchise in Alien: Romulus – set between the events of Alien and Aliens.

Jurassic World Rebirth is coming out this summer, and the movie is set to revitalize the franchise once again, this time by – seemingly – going back to the very roots of Michael Crichton’s novels.

And while the general world will remain the same, we are going to see a set of brand new characters in the movie, one of which is Zora Bennett, the movie’s protagonist, played by Hollywood legend Scarlett Johansson.

In a recent talk to the press, Johansson and director Gareth Edwards discussed the character and revealed a very interesting comparison that might interest fans of the original trilogy.

At the beginning, Edwards revealed how he had a sit-down with Steven Spielberg himself to help him choose the protagonist of the movie, and Spielberg, interestingly enough, helped him more than Edwards could even anticipate.

Summer is looking rather excellent as Disney+ confirms the release dates for its two most highly-anticipated series, The Bear season 4 and Alien: Earth.

There is no shortage of excellent TV these days. The Last Of Us season 2 has had us on the edge of our seat for the past few weeks, Andor has once again proved to be one, if not the best Star Wars offering and the new season of Love, Death + Robots looks positively bonkers.

And there’s more to look forward to as Disney+ gives The Bear season 4 and Alien: Earth official release dates.

We’ll join Carmy, Richie and Sidney at their new restaurant on 10th June as all ten episodes of season 4 become available.

Jurassic World Rebirth director Gareth Edwards has compared Scarlett Johansson's character to one of the most beloved figures from the original Jurassic Park. Johansson leads the latest installment of the Jurassic World franchise as covert ops soldier Zora Bennett.

The filmmaker opened up about the creation of Zora Bennett while speaking to Entertainment Weekly, as he confirmed that he initially conceived that the character could be male or female. Once Johansson came on board, Edwards and screenwriter David Koepp started seeing Zora as Rebirth's equivalent to Sam Neill's Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic Park.

Jurassic World Rebirth Director Offers New Details on Scarlett Johansson's Character

"Scarlett's character probably does share a little bit with Sam Neill in terms of the adventure side," Edwards said. "She's got this backstory. I don't want to ruin it for people, but I was half waiting for the studio to cut these scenes out.

Things are heating up in The Last of Us, and as HBO’s live-action adaptation of Naughty Dog’s video game series ticks along, we’re getting well stuck into the action of 2020’s The Last of Us Part II. There have been some major departures from the game, and alongside a changed timeline or expansion of Bill and Frank’s story, the introduction of Catherine O’Hara’s Gail, or giving Pedro Pascal’s Joel Miller an even more brutal demise, most of these changes have been given the thumbs up from fans. However, much like how these story changes are in danger of sidelining Gabriel Luna’s Tommy, there have been complaints that The Last of Us is missing a major mechanic from the games.

Much like AMC’s The Walking Dead, The Last of Us has taught is that it’s the human race that’s the real danger here…...

Back in 2022, 20th Century Studios, director Dan Trachtenberg, and the Hulu streaming service brought the world a new addition to the Predator franchise, the 1719-set Prey – a film that went over so well, Tranchtenberg was given the opportunity to continue expanding the Predator series. In February of 2024, it was announced that he was moving forward with a project called Predator: Badlands, which is now aiming for a November 7, 2025 theatrical release. With more details on the new film starting to emerge, we figured this was the right time to put together a list of Everything We Know About Predator: Badlands:

Marvel writer Jonathan Hickman dropped a major bombshell during a podcast appearance last week, revealing that the publisher currently holds the rights to produce X-Filescomics, and even cross them over with the Marvel Universe, as Hickman has done with the Alien franchise in his thrilling new series Aliens vs. Avengers.

Speaking with the Off Panel podcast, Hickman explained that a deal between Fox and Marvel has allowed for characters from Iconic Fox-owned properties to make their way into the Marvel Comics landscape.

Fans have already seen this with the Predator franchise, as the Yautja has been integrated in Marvel lore, and with Aliens vs. Avengers; according to Jonathan Hickman, readers can expect to have Scully and Mulder crossing over into the Marvel Universe at some point in the near future as well.

John Boyega explains the delayed development of Attack the Block 2. Before he played Finn in Star Wars, Boyega was in a British sci-fi movie called Attack the Block. The film centered around a teenage gang in South London who are forced to defend their territory when an alien invasion comes their way. The film was directed by Joe Cornish and featured a cast including Boyega, Jodie Whittaker, Alex Esmail, and Leeon Jones. Since the movie's release in 2011, Attack the Block 2 has been confirmed and is currently in pre-production.

Speaking with Josh Horowitz on Happy Sad Confused, Boyega explains why Attack the Block 2 has been delayed. When pressed about why the film was taking so long, Boyega noted that Cornish and the team are "just cooking it to make it right for everyone." Part of this involves securing more funding to bring the effects up to modern standards.

After concluding April defending the much-maligned fourth Alien franchise entry Alien Resurrection (listen) and celebrating Earth Day with a look at Lee Haven Jones’ The Feast (listen), we’re kicking off May by revisiting the wonderful world of Thomas Harris in Ridley Scott‘s 2001 adaptation Hannibal.

Hannibal sees the world-famous cannibal Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) still at large following his escape at the end of The Silence of the Lambs. The disfigured Mason Verger (Gary Oldman), Hannibal’s only surviving victim, is dead set on revenge and begins working with the corrupt and misogynistic Justice Department official Paul Krendler (Ray Liotta) to capture him.

You can’t catch something without bait, though, and Verger has the perfect person in mind to fill that role: Special Agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore).

Space-horror nerds need to buckle up because Noah Hawley, the twisted mind behind Marvel’s Legion, pledged to turn nightmares into sci-fi reality with Alien: Earth. During an interview on the Emmys red carpet, Hawley teased a brand-new species that won’t be your average Xenomorph. I’m talking black goo, mystery hosts, and some next-gen nightmare fuel.

Promising a creature that’s “as scary as it should be,” possibly born from the eerie ooze we last saw in Prometheus and Covenant, Noah Hawley sparked curiosity. Now, while I’m excited about this new species, I can’t help but wonder if Disney is at play. Now that Predator: Badlands is set to have a new predator, is Disney setting up new species in Alien: Earth for the ultimate Alien vs. Predator showdown? Let’s check out.

Noah Hawley has promised a new Xenomorph species in Alien: Earth A still...

Jackson ‘Butch’ Guice passed away late last week becoming another who is pulling his chair up to the great drawing board in the sky. Guice first came onto my radar with the 2008 Ultimate Origins mini-series. Much to my embarrassment, I assumed he was a hot new talent, as at the time the Ultimate Universe was a tight-knit group of creators. I later discovered his varied career in comics across the board of creators with a strong body of work in the 80s and 90s. Guice is another in the long line of creators who broke into comics via the fanzines, as well as designing patches, badges and the like for a company based out of North Carolina. The early stepping stones at Marvel saw him land gigs on Rom and Micronauts, the latter of which he would contribute an 11-issue run on. Both of these series had and continue to have huge cult followings,...

Imagine a world where the most terrifying creatures in sci-fi history aren’t confined to distant planets or derelict spaceships but stalk our planet. That is the chilling premise of Hulu’s Alien: Earth, the first-ever TV series set in the iconic Alien franchise slated to hit screens in summer 2025. FX and Hulu recently dropped a new synopsis that has fans buzzing with excitement and dread.

Set in 2120, just two years before the events of Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic Alien, this prequel follows a young woman and a band of soldiers facing a discovery that could reshape Earth’s future. With Noah Hawley as director and a stellar cast led by Sydney Chandler and Timothy Olyphant, Alien: Earth promises to blend the franchise’s signature horror with fresh and grounded stakes.

The Alien franchise is stepping into new territory with a television series that promises to deliver the same heart-pounding horror fans love. Set on our planet for the first time, this show dives into a world where humanity’s curiosity leads to a terrifying encounter. It’s a fresh take on the iconic sci-fi universe, blending gritty survival with corporate intrigue.

Noah Hawley, known for his work on ‘Fargo’ and ‘Legion,’ is leading the charge as creator, writer, and director. His vision leans heavily on the retro-futuristic vibe of the 1979 ‘Alien’ film, steering clear of the mythology introduced in ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Alien: Covenant.’ Expect practical effects, claustrophobic tension, and a story that feels like a natural extension of the original classic.

A new, extended synopsis was just revealed on Disney+ and we are bringing it to you below:

When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and...

The legacy of Alien is evolving once again, but this time, it’s landing right in our living rooms. Yes, after Alien: Romulus revived the franchise with a bang in 2024, a new chapter is about to take shape, not on the big screens but as a gripping television series. That’s right — Alien: Earth is an upcoming show which is the first ever Alien television series, all set to premiere on Hulu.

It’s set before the events of the original 1979 movie and will dive deeper into the early days of the Alien universe — uncovering mysteries and secrets we’ve never seen before. So, be prepared to see some major sci-fi twists, intense human drama, and of course, those deadly Xenomorphs.

With a strong cast and storytelling, Alien: Earth can possibly be one of the most exciting sci-fi releases of the year. So, here’s everything you need to know...

Iconic and terrifying Five Nights at Freddy's animatronic Springtrap is coming to Dead by Daylight, the long-running asymmetrical multiplayer horror game. DbD is no stranger to horror franchise collaborations, having previously brought characters from Resident Evil, Alien, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre into the fold, among many others.

Fnaf's Springtrap will be the latest Killer introduced to Dead by Daylight, marking a major milestone for both games. The announcement was made at a live broadcast from Pax East, with more details revealed on the Dead by Daylight website. Springtrap will be the featured Killer for DbD's upcoming Chapter, which will also make available a legendary outfit for the newcomer, based on Matthew Lillard's "Yellow Rabbit" version of the character from the Five Nights at Freddy's film adaptation. The collab will also bring a new map to DbD, based on Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

Andor isn’t just a “good Star Wars show.” It’s straight-up brilliant and probably one of the best. It’s what happens when someone says, “Let’s actually write a good story with great characters that fans love,” and Disney shockingly lets them do it. Even still, not everything makes it out alive. Case in point: a cancelled Andor episode that sounds so good, it hurts. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Tony Gilroy dropped a surprising reveal. “Dan Gilroy [Tony’s brother and Andor writer] wrote an amazing, entirely self-contained episode that was episode 209. It was an amazing episode that was like a horror movie. It was the K2 story. They had to bring this huge ugly tanker ship to Yavin, and there was a Kx unit that was trapped inside there hunting. It was sort of like a monster movie with K2 on it. It was really cool.” Yes, it would have been a Star Wars horror episode.

The sci-fi legend Ridley Scott is back with a seemingly more down-to-earth story with a cast that keeps getting better and better. In the latest announcement surrounding the Blade Runner director's upcoming post-apocalyptic thriller, The Dog Stars, based on the novel by Peter Heller, the visionary director reveals that he will be reuniting with a long-time colleague. The film already boasts a stacked ensemble led by Jacob Elordi (Saltburn), which includes Margaret Qualley (The Substance), Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men), and Guy Pearce (The Brutalist). With the film currently shooting in Italy, Doctor Strange star Benedict Wong has been announced as part of the stellar ensemble, giving him the chance to work with Scott after being featured in his previous films, Prometheus (2012) and The Martian (2015).

The story follows Hig, played by Elordi, who replaced the original actor Paul Mescal, a lonely civilian pilot living on an abandoned Colorado airbase with an ex-marine,...

Editor's note: The below recap contains spoilers for Andor Season 2.

Fans of Rogue One knew that Andorwould include a number of things. One of those things was our beloved droid, K-2So. Played by Alan Tudyk in the film, the Imperial droid was Cassian Andor's (Diego Luna) companion. We met them and they already have an established relationship. So we knew that Andor was going to have to include how the two met and began working together, and it was quite the journey to get there. Collider's Steve Weintraub spoke with creator Tony Gilroyabout figuring out when to bring K-2 into the fold.

Weintraub was asking Gilroy about limitations and scheduling with the show (which did end up with recasting of Bail Organa) and asked what was one thing they couldn't pull off as planned and Gilroy said that the reunion between Cassian and K-2. "The K-2 reunion,...

Ridley Scott is currently in production in Italy on The Dog Stars, a post-apocalyptic thriller based on the 2012 novel by Peter Heller.

Jacob Elordi (Saltburn) leads an ensemble that also includes Margaret Qualley (The Substance), Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame), Guy Pearce (Prometheus), and Benedict Wong (Doctor Strange).

Mark L. Smith penned the script, which is set in a near future after an unnamed pandemic has decimated American society.

The story follows Hig (Elordi), a civilian pilot living a lonely life on an abandoned Colorado airbase with his dog and a tough ex-marine (Brolin). The two men couldn’t be more mismatched but depend on each other to fend off roaming invaders.

When a random transmission beams through the radio of his 1956 Cessna, the voice ignites a hope deep inside the pilot that a better life exists outside their tightly controlled perimeter. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no...
