Plot:
Aliens are invading Earth and they have already taken over Europe. Our scientists have created a Powered Exoskeleton fully loaded with weapons, and at last the world seems to have a chance. General Brigham (Brendan Gleeson), the coordinator of United Defence Forces, is going to launch a full-scale attack on the aliens. Humans hope that they will halt the alien onslaught, surround the alien forces and eliminate them. General Brigham orders Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) to fight in the forefront. But Cage is a PR officer who has never taken part in combat, and he tries to persuade – blackmail the General to keep himself out of danger. Cage is sent to his unit one day before the attacked and, as you understand, he has zero training! The attack is launched next morning and William Cage is killed in the very beginning of the battle. But, few seconds before dying, an alien creature – by accident – transmits something in his blood. This makes him… relive the last 24 hours of his life, again and again, each time he gets killed. Where will this – impossible by physical laws – state lead? What role will play Rita Vrataski, the most famous soldier? Is there any hope for salvation for humankind? Well, you know… you will find the answers… on screen!
