Earth has a new apex predator, and humans are its prey. That’s the conceit of Elevation, which sees Anthony Mackie (Avengers: Endgame), Morena Baccarin (Deadpool & Wolverine), and Maddie Hasson (Malignant) trying to survive in a world where monstrous aliens (presumably) have come to our planet and are more than willing and capable of killing any person they come across.
Here’s the official logline, which gives us a bit more info:
Set in the post-apocalyptic Rocky Mountains, a single father (Mackie) and two women venture from the safety of their homes to face monstrous creatures to save the life of a young boy.
While the trailer doesn’t explicitly call this out, based on the focus on a carefully demarcated border line, my guess is the alien monsters can’t live or go into high elevations, which is why humanity appears to have camped out in the high peaks. The clip also suggests that this is an action-packed sci-fi thriller, as the characters Mackie, Baccarin, and Hasson play are burnished with guns they use liberally against the aliens attacking them, as they try to get the medical help the young boy left in the Rockies needs.
Elevation is directed by George Nolfi (The Banker, the writer of Oceans Twelve) with a script from John Glenn, Jacob Roman, and Kenny Ryan. It’s set to premiere in theaters on November 8, 2024.
