School teacher-turned-scientist Ryland Grace wakes up aboard an interstellar spacecraft with no memory of how he arrived at this remote location or why he is the sole surviving crew member. As he struggles to recall his past and the purpose of the mission, he realises the fate of Earth’s future may rest in his hands.
Venturing far from home in what he thought was a one-way journey, Grace uncovers a cosmic threat that has been extinguishing stars across the galaxy — including the Sun. With time running out, he forms an unlikely alliance with an alien being both stranded and desperate, forging a bond that transcends the limits of species, language and survival itself.
Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and adapted from Andy Weir’s novel, Project Hail Mary blends high-concept science fiction with emotional stakes. It asks: what would you do if the only person who can save Earth is someone who didn’t even sign up for the job? With ingenuity, hope and the vastness of space hanging in the balance, this is a story of science, sacrifice and unexpected friendship in the face of oblivion.
