Jack Harper is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack’s mission is nearly complete. His existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands.
Cinematography
Those Iceland landscapes look like another planet—because they basically are.
Score
M83's synth-heavy soundtrack practically IS the emotional core.
Production
The Sky Tower set: built, not CGI. Tom Cruise's paranoia in physical form.
Director
Joseph Kosinski
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kosinski wrote the original graphic novel in 2005 specifically to get a directing gig; no studio would touch it until Tron: Legacy proved his visual chops.
