A thousand years after Earth was destroyed by a natural disaster, humans live on a distant planet called Nova Prime.
It's policed by The Ranger Corps, but one day, during a routine space flight, star Ranger Cypher (Will Smith) and his son Kitai (Jaden Smith) crash land on Earth. Over the last millennium, the planet has evolved to destroy all human life, leaving Cypher and Kitai in a desperate battle for survival.
While After Earth won't help The Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyamalan recapture his early reputation, the combined star power of Smiths senior and junior should ensure this father-son survival quest appeals to a family audience looking for a peril-packed adventure.
After Earth is a Film programme that first aired in 2013 and has been classified a 12 certificate.
