What is the movie about?
Ryland Grace wakes on a spacecraft far from Earth without remembering who he is or why he is there. He must reconstruct his mission and find a way to counter the substance threatening the Sun.
That setup combines a survival mystery with a large-scale scientific problem. Viewers who prefer to discover the mission alongside Grace should avoid detailed plot summaries and trailers that reveal later developments.
Is it based on a book?
The film adapts Andy Weir's bestselling 2021 novel Project Hail Mary rather than using an original screenplay. Drew Goddard wrote the screen adaptation, while Phil Lord and Christopher Miller directed.
Amazon identifies Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub among the featured cast alongside Gosling in its official film overview. Readers of the novel should therefore approach the movie as an adaptation shaped for a different medium.
How long is it, and is it suitable for families?
Project Hail Mary runs for 2 hours and 36 minutes. Families may want to account for that length before choosing it for a weeknight or younger viewers. Prime Video rates the film PG-13 for "some thematic material" and "suggestive references." That rating offers a useful starting point, but it does not provide a complete scene-by-scene content guide for parents.
How did it perform in theaters?
The movie drew a substantial audience before reaching streaming. The Associated Press reported an estimated $80.5 million opening across 4,007 North American screens, setting an Amazon MGM opening record at the time, in its March 22 box-office report.
