Running time: 90 mins
Adventure, Science Fiction, and Thriller
The Dog Stars is a haunting post-apocalyptic drama based on the acclaimed 2012 novel by Peter Heller, bringing one of the most beloved modern survival stories to the big screen. Directed by Ridley Scott—the legendary filmmaker behind Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator and The Martian—the film stars Jacob Elordi as Hig, a former pilot struggling to survive in the aftermath of a devastating global pandemic that has wiped out most of humanity. Living in the ruins of an abandoned airfield with only his loyal dog for company and a volatile survivalist neighbour guarding their perimeter, Hig spends his days flying a small plane over the empty American wilderness, searching for supplies and listening for any sign that other survivors might still exist. The story takes a dramatic turn when Hig picks up a mysterious radio transmission that suggests life beyond the small world he has come to know, pushing him to risk everything on a dangerous journey across a desolate and unpredictable landscape. Widely praised for its poetic storytelling and emotional depth, Heller’s novel stood out among post-apocalyptic fiction for focusing less on monsters and more on loneliness, memory and hope. With Ridley Scott’s talent for creating vast cinematic worlds and a powerful central performance from Elordi, The Dog Stars promises a moving and visually spectacular survival story about what it means to remain human when civilisation itself has disappeared.
