Synopsis
Will Smith and his real-life offspring Jaden explore the frequently tricky father-son relationship in this simple but action-packed sci-fi tale. Set on a future Earth that's long been vacated by humans, this effects-driven adventure sees emotionally distant general Cypher and his rebellious 13-year-old son Kitai battling for survival when their spacecraft crash-lands on the now hostile planet. With Cypher critically injured, their only chance of returning home is for Kitai to retrieve the ship's lost rescue beacon: a terrifying mission that involves a lengthy journey through unknown terrain that is heaving with deadly creatures. Love, trust and courage combine, as Kitai's heroism is pushed to the limits.
