His task: travel to a nearby star system in a last attempt to save Earth.
During the journey, Grace encounters an alien life form, whom he names Rocky. What begins as uncertainty slowly turns into a powerful bond, forming the emotional core of the film.

The screenplay is written by Drew Goddard, who previously adapted Weir’s The Martian for the 2015 Ridley Scott film. That project earned Goddard an Academy Award nomination, as noted by The Hollywood Reporter.
Speaking about the film, Lord described it as genre-breaking. “The movie is emotional, funny, and big. The stakes couldn’t be higher. I’ve never seen a great drama that didn’t make me laugh, or a great comedy that didn’t make me cry,” he said.
Miller added that the bond between Grace and Rocky is central to the story. “It’s about working together and what becomes possible when you do. We hope audiences leave the theatre feeling more hopeful than when they walked in.”
‘Project Hail Mary’ marks Lord and Miller’s return to feature film directing after nearly ten years. Their last film as directors was ‘22 Jump Street’ in 2014.
Since then, they have focused on producing, including the Oscar-winning ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ franchise. They also briefly worked on ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ in 2017 before exiting the project.
The film is scheduled to release in theatres worldwide on March 20, backed by Amazon MGM Studios.
