About the film
10 years ago, they took our planet. Today, we take it back!
What it’s about
An extraterrestrial force has occupied Chicago for nearly a decade. Surveillance is constant, civil rights are restricted, and an authoritarian system has emerged. In a working-class neighborhood, some residents collaborate with the occupiers while others join an underground resistance.
What hooks you
Director Rupert Wyatt, known for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," brings a grounded science-fiction thriller. John Goodman plays William Mulligan, the police chief under pressure. The film's title translates as "In Captivity."
Who it’s for
It will appeal to those who like dystopian settings where resistance brews under an oppressive regime, and to viewers who enjoy thrillers with a ticking clock and moral ambiguity.
