Oblivion
Director: Joseph Kosinski
Actors: Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Andrea Riseborough
PlotIn the year 2077, Earth has been devastated by an alien invasion, with humanity emerging victorious but at the cost of the planet's surface, which is now uninhabitable. The remnants of the human race have relocated to Saturn's moon, Titan, while massive resource extraction stations on Earth harvest the remaining water for the new colony. Jack Harper, a former Marine, and his partner, Victoria, operate as a maintenance team stationed on the desolate Earth. Tasked with repairing security drones that protect the extraction stations from lingering alien scavengers, they are part of "Mission Control," an operation set to extract Earth's remaining resources before completely abandoning the planet. As their mission nears completion, and with only two weeks left on Earth, Jack's existence is jolted by a series of strange events and memories that contradict the narrative he's been given about the war and its aftermath. He experiences flashes of a life before the invasion, leading to a growing sense of uncertainty and doubt about the world he knows.
Complicating matters, Jack discovers a crashed spacecraft with human survivors. One of the survivors, a woman from Jack's visions, stirs emotions and questions he can't explain. As Jack begins to seek the truth behind her identity, he uncovers secrets and lies that challenge his perception of reality. His journey brings him into contact with a band of human survivors led by a charismatic figure who forces Jack to confront the true history of the war and the reality of his existence, pushing him toward a path that could change his life, and humanity's future, forever.
