Far from Earth and with no memory whatsoever, teacher Ryland Grace awakens aboard a spaceship. Little by little, fragments of his memory return, and he realizes that he plays a crucial role in a race against time: A mysterious substance threatens the Sun—and with it, the survival of humanity. Drawing on his scientific knowledge, he teams up with an alien being to try to prevent the catastrophe.

Based on the book of the same name by Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary has emerged as one of the box office hits of 2026. Filmed entirely in IMAX format (1.43:1)—and transferred to film in post-production before being scanned back into digital format—Project Hail Mary brought a stunning visual experience to the big screen, shot entirely on real sets without the use of green or blue screens. And you can enjoy that very same visual experience with us right at the start of the semester.
