Andrew Niccol's The Cross (2010)
Director Andrew Niccol (Lord of War, Truman Show) is returning to science fiction. Best known for his amazing science fiction film Gattaca, Niccol could be the next Danny Boyle. Hopefully with this new film it will revitalize him and he'll stick with the genre.
It stars Orlando Bloom, Vincent Cassel, Olga Kurylenko and John Goodman.
"Mylar (Bloom) and his younger brother Castro come to a town to cross the border in search of a better life. The two travelers, full of hope, all too quickly realize that their journey leads them to an inescapable world full of doom. The enigmatic border is strictly enforced under the command of a guard, Guideon, who prohibits anyone from ever leaving. Castro doesn’t make it alive past two weeks, but Mylar defies all odds and becomes the first to successfully cross the border. And he also becomes the first to come back… all for the love of a woman, Vera. Mylar must now devise a plan not only to set himself free, but all of his fellow citizens as well. But perhaps crossing the border is not the answer. Perhaps the key lies in altering the border and whatever it may represent…"
