Project Hail Mary2026
Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory slowly returns, he uncovers his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox thinking to save everything on Earth from extinction — but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.
11.9 Light Years from Home, with No Memory and No Backup
Ryland Grace is a molecular biologist turned middle school science teacher who wakes from a coma aboard the spacecraft Hail Mary with no memory of his own identity, let alone how he came to be humanity's last line of defense. As fragments of his past return, he pieces together the mission that put him here: a mysterious microorganism is dimming stars across the galaxy, including our own sun, and threatens to end life on Earth within a generation. Working alone with a ship full of experiments and a rapidly narrowing set of options, Ryland's isolation ends when he encounters Rocky, an alien engineer from a nearby dying star system facing the exact same crisis. As two very different scientists from two very different worlds team up out of necessity, an unlikely friendship becomes humanity's — and Rocky's species' — best and only hope. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and adapted by Drew Goddard from Andy Weir's bestselling novel, Project Hail Mary pairs hard science-fiction problem-solving with genuine warmth and humor.
