A Quiet Place writers and Haunt directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods transport Adam Driver to prehistoric Earth in this sci-fi thriller. Driver’s Commander Mills is on an exploratory mission when his ship crashes on an unknown planet. He finds one survivor, a young girl named Koa (Ariana Greenblatt), and together they realize they have landed on Earth—but 65 million years in the past. In their fight to survive, and possibly get home, they must face off against all types of cunning creatures, but luckily they do have futuristic weapons. The result has the feel of a one-man Aliens, with Mills and Koa in the rolls of Ripley and Newt facing off against dinosaurs instead of xenomorphs.
