Time is of the essence in Project Hail Mary but not to the dynamic directing duo, who gently propel us into dizzying orbit with the most unconventional, gorgeously touching screen double act, brought together while trying to save their planets.

Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) regains consciousness on a spaceship bound for Tau Ceti, a star located around 11.9 light years from Earth.

He is alone and suffering from amnesia, unable to recall who he is or how he came to be on the vessel.

The ship's computer, Mary (voiced by Priya Kansara), provides a name and purpose, and fragmented memories slowly piece together the past.
