Brad Pitt Embarks on a Rescue Mission in Space for New 'Ad Astra' Trailer
He will also have to save the world in the process.
20th Century Fox released a new trailer for the James Gray-directed Ad Astra, which follows Brad Pitt on a rescue mission in space for his father (played by Tommy Lee Jones).
After going missing on a mission of his own 16 years ago in search of alien life, Roy McBride (Pitt) becomes an astronaut in order to search for his father in the outer reaches of space. It’s also revealed his father’s ship contains a material that could end life back on Earth. As Roy continues his mission to find his father, the trailer above shows people back on Earth breaking out into violent fights, which may be connected to Ray’s father. Liv Tyler, Jamie Kennedy, and Donald Sutherland will also star in the film.
Check out the footage above, the theatrical posters below, and catch Ad Astra theatrically on September 20.
