Theatrical Narrative & World

Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) is a middle-school science teacher who wakes up from an induced coma light-years from Earth with amnesia, aboard a lonely interstellar ship with his two crewmates dead.

As his memories return, he remembers that a space microbe called 'Astrophage' is eating the sun and freezing Earth. While conducting experiments at the Tau Ceti star system, he meets an equally stranded alien engineer spider named Rocky, forming an unforgettable friendship to save both their homeworlds.
