CriticsCritics: 45
AudienceAudience: 6.5

In a world devastated by a pandemic, a solitary pilot makes a home in a Colorado airplane hangar with his dog and a guarded gunman. When a mysterious radio transmission reaches him during a flight, he sets out to discover where it came from, confronting the dangers and uncertainties of life among the survivors.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like contemplative post-apocalyptic stories about isolation, grief, and the search for hope; Not for you if you want brisk pacing, frequent action, or a consistently fresh plot.
