Project Hail Mary (2023)
Project Hail Mary (2023) is a sci-fi thriller based on Andy Weir’s bestselling novel of the same name. The story follows Ryland Grace, a former scientist and teacher who unexpectedly wakes up alone on a spaceship, millions of miles from Earth, with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Slowly, he realizes he is on a mission to save humanity.
As his memories return, Grace discovers that Earth faces an existential threat from an alien microbe called Astrophage, which is consuming the sun’s energy and endangering all life on the planet. His mission, code-named “Hail Mary,” is humanityโs last hope to stop the extinction event by finding a solution in a distant star system.
While on his journey, Grace encounters Rocky, an alien from another star system whose planet is also under threat from Astrophage. Despite their vast differences, they form an unlikely partnership, working together to find a solution to save both their worlds. Project Hail Mary combines scientific ingenuity, suspense, and themes of cooperation and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.
