An astronaut journeys to the edge of the solar system to find his missing father and confront the mystery threatening Earth.
Earth is being struck by mysterious power surges, and the answer may lie at the edge of the solar system. In AD ASTRA, astronaut Roy McBride is sent on a dangerous mission to find his long-missing father, whose failed expedition could threaten humanity itself. James Gray crafts a haunting sci-fi odyssey about fathers, faith, solitude and the ache of unanswered questions.
Rialto Recommends AD ASTRA is science fiction as inner voyage: elegant, melancholic and quietly immense. Brad Pitt gives a beautifully restrained performance as a man trained to feel nothing, only to find himself undone by memory, longing and doubt. Visually stunning and emotionally precise, it is a space epic less about conquest than the aching human need to be answered.
