What is Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars about?
The Dog Stars is Ridley Scott's post-apocalyptic drama, based on Peter Heller's 2012 novel, set in 2035 after a virus has devastated humanity [3, 4, 5]. It follows Jacob Elordi as Hig, a mechanic-turned-pilot who lost his pregnant wife and newborn to the outbreak and now survives on a remote Colorado airstrip with his dog Jasper and his hardened, armed neighbour Bangley [1]. The story centres on Hig's search for some remnant of humanity in the wreckage, and the film reportedly departs from the book with an unexpected third-act twist [3, 6].
