Overview

One thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity's escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind's new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai. When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai's craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance. Wikipedia ↗

About the Film

After Earth is a 2013 American science fiction action film directed by M. Night Shyamalan, starring Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith. Set 1,000 years after humanity abandoned a devastated Earth, the film follows a legendary military commander Cypher Raige, played by Will Smith, and his son Kitai, played by Jaden Smith, who crash-land on the now-dangerous, quarantined Earth.

When Cypher is severely injured and trapped in the wreckage, the untested Kitai must trek alone across a hostile planet — now home to evolved, dangerous creatures and extreme temperature fluctuations — to retrieve a rescue beacon from the tail section of their crashed ship. After Earth was conceived by Will Smith as a vehicle for his son, but the combination of Jaden's divisive lead performance, Shyamalan's restrained but flat direction, and a script that critics found emotionally inert resulted in poor reviews. The film earned $243 million worldwide on a $130 million budget.
