Overview
About the Film
Children of Men is a 2006 British-American dystopian science fiction thriller directed by Alfonso Cuarón. Set in 2027, the film depicts a world where two decades of global human infertility have driven civilization into collapse — no child has been born anywhere on Earth for 18 years, and humanity is slowly dying. Clive Owen stars as Theo Faron, a disillusioned former activist in a totalitarian Britain — the last functioning nation, which has devolved into a militarized state imprisoning refugees in cages — who is tasked by a resistance group with escorting Kee, a miraculously pregnant young refugee woman played by Clare-Hope Ashitey, to safety.
Children of Men earned $70 million worldwide on a $76 million budget, a commercial disappointment that obscured what many critics and filmmakers now consider one of the greatest science fiction films ever made.
