The world that was doesn’t exist. A new film by Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator, The Martian), this searing new survival thriller features an all-star cast led by Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein, Euphoria), Josh Brolin (Weapons) and Margaret Qualley (The Substance).

Based on Peter Heller’s captivating bestseller, The Dog Stars is set after a devastating flu pandemic that has almost eradicated humanity. A young pilot, Hig (Elordi) and hardened military survivalist Bangley (Brolin) have together carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world. When Hig receives a mysterious radio transmission, he ventures into the unknown in search of the hope he still believes exists.
