Synopsis

Based on a science fiction novel by PD James, Children of Men is set in a darkly futuristic Britain where humanity is on the brink of extinction and a sole pregnant woman holds the key to the survival of the species. Against the backdrop of a London torn apart by warring sects, there emerges an unlikely champion of earth's survival in the form of Theo, a disillusioned ex-activist. A thought-provoking film from the great Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron (who also made the very different Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), which deservedly received three Academy Award nominations.
