Regisseur M. Night Shyamalan (The Last Airbender, 2010) werkt al geruime tijd aan zijn nieuwe film After Earth, waarin Will Smith (Hancock, 2008) en zijn zoon Jaden Smith (The Karate Kid, 2010) samen te zien zijn. Tot op heden was niet helemaal duidelijk waar de film over zou gaan en werd er volop gespeculeerd over het plot. Op de website Filmofilia is nu de synopsis verschenen:
In After Earth, one thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanitys escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankinds new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige (played by Will Smith) returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai (played by Jaden Smith). When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitais craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance.
