About a pilot living in a world filled with loss - and what he is willing to risk to rediscover, against all odds, connection, love, and grace. The Dog Stars is set in a near future where society has changed profoundly. Elordi plays Hig, a civilian pilot living on an abandoned Colorado airbase with his dog. Through an unlikely circumstance he meets a tough ex-marine called Bangley (Brolin), and they are forced to work together to navigate this dangerous and uncompromising new world. One day, when a random transmission beams through the radio of Hig’s beloved Cessna plane, the voice ignites a hope deep inside the pilot that a new life may exist outside their tightly controlled perimeter. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return and follows its static-broken trail. Qualley will play Cima, a young doctor and daughter of a world-weary rancher, to be played by Pearce, who Hig meets along his fraught and life-changing journey.
