When a powerful force knocks the moon off of its orbit, former astronaut and NASA executive Jo Fowler (Halle Berry) immediately jumps into action to save humankind. Unfortunately for her, only Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson), a figure from her past, and KC Houseman (John Bradley), a conspiracy theorist, believe that she holds the key to stopping the impending disaster. With only a few weeks until the displaced heavenly body crashes into Earth, the unlikely team heroically pursues their mission, only to find out that the moon is not what it seems to be. Roland Emmerich directs the action film.
