Project Hail Mary

Project Hail Mary is an upcoming American science fiction film directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, adapted from the best-selling 2021 novel by Andy Weir. The story centers on Ryland Grace, a middle-school science teacher who wakes up from a coma aboard a state-of-the-art spaceship with severe amnesia. As his memories gradually return, he discovers that he is the sole survivor of a desperate, last-chance space mission sent to save humanity from an extinction-level event caused by a solar-energy-depleting organism known as the Astrophage.

Stranded light-years away from Earth in the Tau Ceti star system, Grace must rely on his scientific intellect and resourcefulness to find a solution to the crisis. His solitary mission takes an extraordinary turn when he encounters an extraterrestrial ship piloted by a mysterious, intelligent alien survivor facing the exact same planetary threat. Together, the two unlikely allies must bridge the gap of language and biology to solve the complex physics of saving their respective home worlds.
