Survival is a Team Effort in Project Hail Mary

Subhead

Body Block 1

Ryland Grace doesn’t know if he’s up to saving the world.
The disgraced microbiologist at the center of the new film Project Hail Mary, Ryland has settled into a comfortable life as a middle school teacher. He’s reluctant to heed the call when the government comes knocking with an urgent request: an extraterrestrial virus is extinguishing the sun, and they need him to figure out why. Quickly proving indispensable, Ryland is recruited for a mission that will send him on a one-way journey to the only known star immune to the infection. When he wakes at his destination, he discovers he’s the sole surviving member of the crew — and that he isn’t the only one searching for answers.

A delightful grab bag of a sci-fi epic that evokes films like Armageddon, Arrival, and Cast Away, Project Hail Mary is about as optimistic as an end-of-the-world story can get. Unfolding across two timelines — one on Earth, one in deep space — the stakes build steadily until the fate of the universe hinges on Ryland finding the courage to meet the moment.

Luckily, he’s not alone. On Earth, he’s guided by no-nonsense mission director Eva (Sandra Hüller, Anatomy of a Fall), while in space he encounters a stony lifeform he dubs Rocky. It’s a testament to Ryan Gosling’s ever-affable charm that he builds chemistry with both, creating two distinct strains of buddy comedy along the way.
When Ryland pushes the stoic Eva to open up to her team, she finally relents at a karaoke party. Launching into Harry Styles’ “Sign of the Times,” the weight of their mission hangs on every note, revealing a vulnerability that mirrors Ryland’s own. It’s a showstopping moment from Hüller that captures the film’s central idea: we can’t shield ourselves from the hardships of the universe, but at least we don’t have to face them alone.
