One of the best sci-fi movies of the decade is on TV tonight

Made by an Oscar-winning filmmaker, some have even called it one of the best sci-fi movies of the 21st century.

With its title standing for 'Not of Planet Earth', Nope revolves around two chalk and cheese siblings (played by Oscar-winner Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer) who inherit a California horse ranch from their father (Keith David) after his mysterious death.

Working there, the pair begin to realise something sinister is lurking in the skies above the ranch.

All the while, the owner of a nearby theme park (Oscar-nominee Steven Yeun) tries to profit from the mysterious, otherworldly phenomenon.

Blending all the thrills you would associate with a big-budget UFO film with an unsettling horror-tinged atmosphere and an enigmatic story layered with deeper meaning, Nope was a hit at the box office and earned an 83% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Also starring Brendan Perea and the great Michael Wincott, the film's reputation has improved even further since its release.

Some have gone as far as to call it one of the best sci-fi movies of the 21st century and of all time.

Nope is on TV tonight on Film4 at 9pm. The movie will also be available to stream on Channel 4's website after it airs.
