Y Tu Mamá También and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuarón returns to the helm to tell this futuristic tale in which society is without hope since humankind lost its ability to procreate. The year is 2027, and women can no longer give birth. The youngest inhabitant of the planet has just died at the age of 18, and all hope for humanity has been lost. As civilization descends into chaos, a dying world finds one last chance for survival in the form of a woman who has become inexplicably pregnant. Now, as warring nationalistic sects clash and world leaders find their grip on power quickly slipping, a disillusioned bureaucrat (Clive Owen) is contacted by his activist ex-wife (Jilianne Moore) and charged with the daunting task of escorting the woman who represents mankind's last hope for survival out of harm's way and into the care of a mysterious organization known as The Human Project. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Charlie Hunnam, and Michael Caine co-star in an adaptation of author P.D. James' gripping 1992 novel.
