Thousands of years after civilization was destroyed by a cataclysmic event, humankind has adapted and a new way of living has evolved. Gigantic moving cities now roam the Earth, ruthlessly preying upon smaller traction towns. Tom Natsworthy (Robert Sheehan) who hails from a Lower Tier of the great traction city of London finds himself fighting for his own survival after he encounters the dangerous fugitive Hester Shaw (Hera Hilmar). Two opposites, whose paths should never have crossed, forge an unlikely alliance that is destined to change the course of the future.

And a new featurette offers a glimpse inside Peter Jackson’s epic saga…

 

Mortal Engines is adapted from the award-winning book series by Philip Reeve and directed by Oscar-winning visual-effects artist Christian Rivers (King Kong). Joining him are The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogies three-time Academy Award-winning filmmakers Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, who have penned the screenplay.
