After Earth 2013

After Earth is a 2013 American post-apocalyptic action-adventure film starring Jaden and Will Smith. The film was loosely based on an original story idea by Will Smith about a father-and-son trip in the wilderness before it was eventually reworked into a sci-fi setting, taking place 1,000 years in the future where humans have evacuated Earth to another planet due to a massive environmental catastrophe. The film was directed by M. Night Shyamalan, who co-wrote the screenplay with Gary Whitta. Will Smith, his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, his brother-in-law Caleeb Pinkett, and business partner James Lassiter co-produced the film via their company Overbrook Entertainment while Columbia Pictures was the distributor. The film was co-produced by John Rusk, who was also the first assistant director on this film as well as on many of Shyamalan's other films. The film follows father and son, Cypher and Kitai Raige, who find themselves crash-landing on the abandoned Earth.
