About 2067 (film) in brief

Summary 2067 (film)2067 is a 2020 Australian science fiction film directed by Seth Larney and starring Kodi Smit-McPhee and Ryan Kwanten. In the year 2067, Earth has been devastated by climate change. Ethan Whyte, a tunnel worker for the city’s power plant, is faced with the harsh fact that his wife Xanthe is afflicted with the Sickness. One day, Ethan is called before Regina Jackson, a Chronicorp research CTO, who explains that the sickness will eventually wipe out humanity. Ethan finds himself in a lush but lifeless rainforest, with only a device permanently fitted to his wrist by his father during his childhood and a hand computer named Archie as his only surviving pieces of equipment. He finds the entrance to a bunker-like structure, and before it, a skeleton wearing his jumpsuit and with a bullet hole in its skull, as well as a decaying Archie and the familiar wrist device. It is there that Ethan’s wrist device is revealed to be a DNA analyzer specifically made to grant him access to the Chronicle, which sets itself for automatic reactivation in four hours.

The activation of the Chronicle triggers a malfunction in its nuclear power core, threatening to unleash a nuclear explosion before the countdown is completed. Ethan willingly allows himself to be locked inside the depressurizing chamber to initiate a manual reboot. He succeeds in rerouting the power, preventing the meltdown, and reopening the control room. With 37 minutes to spare, Ethan finds another exit that opens to the entryway with his skeleton. Upon its sight, Ethan suffers a nervous breakdown and implores Jude to kill him, which Jude refuses to do. Jude then confesses that there was no actual hope of ever hope of the future; Ethan locks Jude in and plays back the remainder of his father’s last message.
