About Restart the Earth
When a drug to replicate plant cells creates a sentient form of flower, the planet is over taken by flora and humankind is depleted. A Chinese task force, a widowed father and his young daughter fight to survive in a mission to inject an antidote to the core of the plants to reverse their growth.
Directed by Lin Zhenzhao, Restart the Earth leans on a strong ensemble — He Shengming, Luo Mi, Michelle Ye Xuan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 2021.
