Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction... but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.

Critics Consensus

A visually dazzling space odyssey that's carried along effortlessly by the gravitational pull of Ryan Gosling at his most winning, Project Hail Mary is a near-miraculous fusion of smarts and heart.

Audience Says

One stellar Gosling + one arachnid-ish alien + one Hail Mary mission = lightning in a spaceship.

Among the many things I didn’t need in my life was a stealth sequel to Half Nelson…in space.

This film is not quite the masterpiece its grand visual scale sometimes suggests it’s shooting for. Still, it’s pretty consistently enjoyable, with a message that the viewing public could afford to hear.

This is the most ambitious picture, in terms of structure and spectacle, that the filmmaking duo of Lord and Miller have ever made, and sometimes it reels out of their grasp.

It’s unnecessarily long. And after decades of this patriarchal, white supremacist, American military propaganda, I’ve simply had enough.

The Martian was the best film I watched in 2015. It's nice to see that author went ahead and wrote another extremely enjoyable book that I could watch in theaters in 2026. Project Hail Mary was a blast!

Best movie we have seen in a very long time. The actors were amazing and so was the storyline. It has renewed my love of movies. We had pretty much given up going to the theaters. We have renewed hope. I agree that this is an absolute must-see!!!

Ryan Gosling was fantastic in this movie. Loved the story with the little bits of humor to lighten up the mood. Nothing better than a movie that makes you cry and laugh.
