Project Hail Mary is a 2026 science-fiction epic directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and adapted from Andy Weir's best-selling 2021 novel. Distributed by Amazon MGM Studios and written for the screen by Drew Goddard, who also adapted Weir's The Martian, the film marks a rare live-action tentpole from the directing duo best known for the animated Spider-Verse films and The Lego Movie.

Ryan Gosling stars as Ryland Grace, a former schoolteacher who wakes from an induced coma aboard a spacecraft light-years from home with no memory of who he is or why he is there. As his past returns to him, he realizes he is humanity's last hope against a stellar catastrophe threatening to extinguish life on Earth, and that he is not alone on his mission. Sandra Huller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub round out the cast.

Positioned as one of the year's marquee original science-fiction releases, the film pairs Weir's rigorously worked-out science with the humor and heart that define Lord and Miller's work, and was shot with IMAX cameras for maximum spectacle. It arrived as a high-profile theatrical event in spring 2026 before reaching streaming, drawing praise for Gosling's performance and for a central relationship that gives the survival story unexpected warmth.
