In Life, six astronauts are aboard a satellite orbiting Earth as part of the Mars Pilgrim Mission. They retrieve a probe from Mars that contains a microscopic life form from the Red Planet. Biologist Hugh Derry (Ariyon Bakare) excitedly studies it, changes atmospheric conditions, and watches it grow at an alarming rate. Then it attacks and escapes, wounding his hand. Another crew member jumps in to intervene, but the creature, called “Calvin,” kills him. It’s up to the rest of the crew — including Miranda North (Rebecca Ferguson), David Jordan (Jake Gyllenhaal), and Sho Kendo (Hiroyuki Sanada) — to try to contain the monster. If they can’t, they’ll never be able to return to Earth.
