Film Synopsis
An astronaut undertakes a mission to uncover the truth behind a mystery.
When a mysterious life-threatening event strikes Earth, astronaut Roy McBride (Brad Pitt) goes on a dangerous mission across an unforgiving solar system to uncover the truth about his missing father (Tommy Lee Jones) — and his doomed expedition that now, 30 years later, threatens the universe.
Overflowing with stunning cosmic visuals, a gorgeous Max Richter score and a deeply emotional core, director James Gray’s epic but intimate tale of one man’s journey through space in search of Answers was a minor flop at the box office on its initial release, but critical reappraisals in the years since have vindicated it as a humane masterpiece of 21st century science-fiction.
