About the film: In an apocalyptic future most people live above the clouds because the surface of the Earth is uninhabitable. A soldier is stuck on the desolate Earth repairing drones that patrol and destroy a savage alien race called The Scavengers. He comes across a beautiful woman who has crashed in a craft. Together they take an epic adventure that changes his world view.
Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, brief strong language, and some sensuality/nudity.
