Jack Harper (Cruise) 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.
Living in and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring 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.
Oblivion was shot in stunning digital 4K resolution on location across the United States and Iceland.

Not a big Tom Cruise fan but this is now at the top of my radar. For once I’m getting the feeling that this might actually be an “original idea” sort of movie. One of those movies where you can sit through the entire thing and not think, “Yeah, they did a version of that in…blahblahblah…and BETTER”
We’ll see.
