Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein), Josh Brolin (Weapons), and Margaret Qualley (The Substance), Guy Pearce (The Brutalist), Benedict Wong (Weapons), and Allison Janney (“The West Wing”) star in Ridley Scott‘s post-apocalyptic thriller The Dog Stars.

The film is “set in a world where survival is instinct, but humanity is a choice. Scott tells the story of Hig, a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley, has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world until a mysterious radio transmission spurs Hig to venture into the unknown in search of the hope and humanity he still believes exists.”

The film is based on Peter Heller’s bestselling novel and written by Mark L. Smith (Overlord, The Revenant) and produced by Ridley Scott, Michael Pruss, Mark L. Smith, and Cliff Roberts.

The Dog Stars will release in theaters on August 28, 2026.
