Released in cinemas earlier this year, the film stars an Oscar-winner and has an 82% Rotten Tomatoes score.

The story begins with an unnamed dishevelled man (Rockwell) entering a diner in modern-day Los Angeles. Ranting to the patrons, he explains that he is from a nightmarish future and has travelled back in time to stop the apocalypse.

Needing help to save humanity, he believes an unknown combination of people in the restaurant can assist him in completing his strange quest. While many don't believe the stranger, a handful of customers agree to tag along.

The story follows the ragtag group on their mysterious mission, while also flashing back to explain each member of the gang's different motivations for joining the man from the future.
