The Dog Stars
2026 · TMDB 6.6
Directed by Ridley Scott
After the world's population has been ravaged by a pandemic, a man lives a lonesome existence in a Colorado airplane hangar with his dog and a dour gunman he has befriended. When a mysterious transmission comes through on the radio while he’s flying his old Cessna, it sparks a hunt for the provenance of the sound.
Why it matters
A pilot and his dog live in a hangar by an airport, scavenging for supplies and flying a small plane over a plague-ravaged Colorado. When a mysterious radio signal beckons, he sets out to find the source.
