Quick Synopsis
A thousand years after Earth became uninhabitable due to catastrophic events, humanity now lives on Nova Prime. General Cypher Raige, a respected military leader, returns home after a long deployment, hoping to reconnect with his 13-year-old son, Kitai. During their journey, their spacecraft is hit by an asteroid storm, forcing them to crash-land on Earth, which has since become a dangerous and unfamiliar place. With Cypher seriously injured and unable to move, Kitai must navigate the hostile environment alone to find their rescue beacon and call for help. Throughout his life, Kitai has aspired to be a soldier like his father, and this crisis becomes his opportunity to prove himself.
