What is Project Hail Mary about?
Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) awakens aboard a spacecraft far from Earth with no memory of his identity or how he arrived there. As fragments of his past begin to resurface, he realizes he’s been sent on a critical mission: to unravel the mystery of a strange substance that is draining the sun’s energy.
Relying on his scientific expertise and unconventional thinking, Grace races against time to prevent humanity’s extinction. Along the way, an unexpected ally changes everything — and he discovers he may not have to carry the weight of the universe on his own.
