Stowaway ending spoilers ahead.
We might have mostly been stuck indoors over the past year, but at least we didn t wake up on a two-year mission to Mars that we can t leave.
That s the fate awaiting unintended stowaway Michael Adams (Shamier Anderson) in Netflix s gripping new sci-fi movie
Stowaway. His emergence shortly after the mission s launch also messes things up for the three-person crew of the Kingfisher – medical researcher Zoe (Anna Kendrick), the ship s commander Marina (Toni Collette) and biologist David (Daniel Dae Kim).
Michael s arrival accidentally causes irreparable damage to the Kingfisher s life support systems, meaning they don t have enough oxygen for all four passengers. With a potentially fatal outcome ahead for all of them, the crew are forced to face an impossible decision.

Stowaway
(Joe Penna)
Just hours into a two-year mission to Mars, three astronauts (Anna Kendrick, Daniel Dae Kim, Toni Collette) are shocked to discover an extra passenger: a launch support engineer (Shamier Anderson) who was knocked out in an accident before liftoff, and can’t be returned to Earth. That’s the premise that kicks off this speculative drama from the creators of the Mads Mikkelsen survival thriller Arctic and this one’s even more focused and intense. Refreshingly, there’s no tension between the crew and the new guy: once it’s clear he’s not a saboteur, everyone is downright hospitable. But what does his presence mean for the ship’s fuel, oxygen and food resources?
We’ve not even reached the end of April yet, but it already looks as though
Netflix‘s decision to give the green light to more sci-fi projects than ever is going to reap huge rewards. Not long after Anthony Mackie’s
Stowaway has become the genre’s latest in-house hit.
Hailing from rising directorial star Joe Penna, who helmed the acclaimed Mads Mikkelsen survival drama
Arctic, the pic follows a three-person crew on a mission to Mars, who find themselves faced with an impossible choice. They discover that the titular fourth member of their team has accidentally wound up joining them on their journey, but they don’t have the resources to justify keeping them on board.
