Storm Rider: Legend of Hammerhead

What it’s about

Centuries after the Great Flood, survivors cling to scattered islands battered by endless storms. The walled city of Argos is the centre of power and order, but for two rebellious islanders, Neb and Ana, its walls are a cage. Inspired by an old legend of an exiled Storm Rider, they set out on a desperate boat journey through blinding rain and raging seas, seeking freedom and the true origin of their world.

The Croatian production blends adventure, action and science fiction in a post-apocalyptic setting where riders compete in death races on the water to secure shelter for their people.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who like survival stories set in hostile environments, where every wave could be the last and the promise of hidden truths drives the characters forward.
