George Clooney learned a lot about stories set in outer space with Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity and Steven Soderbergh’s Solaris. Now, with Netflix’s The Midnight Sky
, he directs and stars in the post-apocalyptic story based on Lily Brooks-Dalton’s 2016 novel Good Morning, Midnight, that plays out on both Earth – in the Arctic — and in space.
As the story opens, there has been an unrevealed accident on Earth which has caused a global catastrophe and made the planet uninhabitable for all living creatures.
