The Dog Stars

The end of the world was just the beginning. From renowned Academy Award nominated director Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator), comes the adaptation of Peter Heller’s acclaimed novel, THE DOG STARS, a haunting but also breathtakingly beautiful story of loss, love and survival. In a post-apocalyptic world where a deadly virus has wiped out most of humanity, former pilot Hig (Academy Award nominee Jacob Elordi), who survived the pandemic but lost everyone he knew, including his wife, lives in the hangar of a small, abandoned airport with his dog Jasper. Alone, with his only neighbour the gun-toting ex-Marine Bangley (Academy Award nominee Josh Brolin), Hig often heads out in his 1956 Cessna, where he can fish and pretend things are how they used to be. When a random transmission beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside Hig that a better life might exist if he flies a bit further. Joining forces with Bangley, he risks it all to chase a possible haven in Grand Junction. Featuring an all-star cast, including Golden Globe nominee Margaret Qualley (The Substance), Academy Award winner Allison Janney (I, Tonya) and Academy Award nominee Guy Pearce (The Brutalist), THE DOG STARS is both savagely funny and achingly sad, telling an extraordinary story about what it means to be human.
