Oblivion is a 2013 American science fiction action film directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Tom Cruise as Jack Harper, a technician stationed on a post-apocalyptic Earth in 2077 who maintains drones that protect massive fusion energy harvesters supplying power to humanity's new home on Saturn's moon Titan. Earth was devastated decades earlier by an alien invasion that shattered the Moon and triggered catastrophic natural disasters, and the few remaining alien "Scavs" are hunted by the drones. When Jack rescues a woman from a crashed spacecraft and begins experiencing vivid memories of a life he shouldn't remember, he uncovers a truth that challenges everything he believes about the war, the aliens, and his own identity.

Joseph Kosinski, whose previous film Tron: Legacy demonstrated strong visual instincts, created one of the most visually striking science fiction films of its decade — the aerial sequences above the clouds, the brutalist architecture of Jack's sky tower home, and the haunting landscapes of a devastated Earth were rendered with meticulous attention to production design. M83's electronic score contributed enormously to the film's atmospheric quality. While critics found the plot derivative of earlier science fiction films, the visual spectacle and Tom Cruise's committed performance made it engaging entertainment.

Oblivion earned $286 million worldwide on a $120 million budget.
