About the Film

Jupiter Ascending is a 2015 American space opera directed by the Wachowskis. Mila Kunis stars as Jupiter Jones, a Russian-immigrant housekeeper in Chicago who discovers she is genetically identical to the deceased matriarch of the most powerful dynasty in the universe, making her the rightful owner of Earth. Channing Tatum plays Caine Wise, a part-wolf, part-human former soldier who protects Jupiter from three royal siblings — played by Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, and Tuppence Middleton — who each want to control Earth for its most valuable resource: the humans living on it, who can be "harvested" to produce a youth serum.

The Wachowskis poured their trademark visual imagination into the film, creating elaborate spacecraft, alien civilizations, and gravity-defying action sequences including Caine's anti-gravity boot chases through Chicago's skyline. Eddie Redmayne's performance as the whispering, occasionally shrieking villain Balem Abrasax became a camp highlight. Jupiter Ascending earned $184 million worldwide on a $176 million budget, a commercial failure.
