Prepare for an interstellar race against time as Amazon MGM Studios brings Andy Weir’s gripping, New York Times best-selling novel to the silver screen. Project Hail Mary is a high-stakes sci-fi epic that blends hard science with a deeply human heart, arriving exclusively in theaters and IMAX this March.

The Mission: Survival

The story follows Ryland Grace (played by Academy Award® nominee Ryan Gosling), a middle-school science teacher who awakens from a coma to find himself the sole survivor on a lonely, high-tech spaceship. The catch? He is light-years away from Earth and has absolutely no memory of his identity or his purpose.

As his fractured memories slowly return, the terrifying reality of his situation sets in. Grace is the world’s last hope. He has been tasked with solving the mystery of a lethal, solar-devouring substance that is causing the sun to dim, threatening global extinction.

To save humanity, Grace must rely on his scientific brilliance, unorthodox problem-solving skills, and a desperate will to live. However, the vacuum of space holds one more surprise: an unexpected friendship that suggests he might not be as alone as he thought.

A Powerhouse Creative Team

This adaptation reunites the visionary minds behind some of the most beloved films of the last decade. The film is helmed by the Academy Award®-winning duo Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, The LEGO Movie), known for balancing humor, spectacle, and emotional depth.

Written by Drew Goddard, the Oscar®-nominated writer of The Martian, ensures that Weir’s signature “science-first” storytelling remains front and center. The film is a collaboration between Pascal Pictures, Open Invite Films/Waypoint Entertainment, and Lord Miller.

Stellar Cast & Credits

The film features an impressive ensemble bringing this cosmic mystery to life. Gosling leads the cast that includes Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, Milana Vayntrub, and Priya Kansara.

Producers include Amy Pascal, Ryan Gosling, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Aditya Sood, Rachel O’Connor, and Andy Weir. Patricia Whitcher, Lucy Winn Kitada, Nikki Baida, Ken Kao, Drew Goddard, and Sarah Esberg executive produce.

Experience the scale of the cosmos as it was meant to be seen. Project Hail Mary lands in Theaters and IMAX on March 20.
