About the Film

Predestination is a 2014 Australian science fiction thriller directed by Michael and Peter Spierig, based on Robert A. Heinlein's short story "All You Zombies." Ethan Hawke stars as a temporal agent working for a time-travel bureau, who is assigned one final case: to stop a terrorist known as the Fizzle Bomber responsible for a devastating attack in 1975 New York. The mission takes the agent through a labyrinthine time-travel narrative involving a mysterious person he meets in a bar, whose extraordinary life story gradually reveals connections to every thread of the plot.

Predestination was one of the most mind-bending time-travel films ever made, taking Heinlein's famously paradoxical short story and expanding it into a feature that became more bewildering and satisfying with each revelation. Sarah Snook delivered a tour-de-force dual performance that was the film's most impressive achievement. The film earned $5 million worldwide but developed a devoted cult following for its intellectual ambition and masterful construction of temporal paradoxes.
