âThereâs a longing in this story,â George Clooney â who earlier starred in space films like âSolarisâ and âGravityâ â says with a twinkle in his eye. âItâs a real need to connect, deeply connect. And thereâs also this conversation about what mankind is capable of doing to mankind that creeps up on you.â
An end-of-the-world tale, âThe Midnight Skyâ follows two parallel threads. In one, a lonely scientist occupying a snowy Arctic outpost rides out the last days of humanityâs earthly existence. In another, a team of interplanetary explorers aboard an advanced spacecraft hopes to finally return home after years away. These astronauts, trapped in their own isolation, are unaware of whatâs happened to the planet.
