“A modern vision of post-apocalyptic survival. After the catastrophe has passed, the struggle is no longer about destruction itself, but about finding connection, hope and reasons to continue living among the ruins.”
“Working with Ridley Scott brings Qualley into a larger-scale survival drama and marks another step beyond the independent and auteur-driven work that shaped much of her rise. The film reflects the widening range of productions now available to her.”
Storyline
After the world's population has been ravaged by a pandemic, a man lives a lonesome existence in a Colorado airplane hangar with his dog and a dour gunman he has befriended. When a mysterious transmission comes through on the radio while he’s flying his old Cessna, it sparks a hunt for the provenance of the sound.
