Ad Astra

Ad Astra (Latin for 'To the Stars') is a 2019 American science fiction adventure drama film released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures under the 20th Century Fox label and co-produced, co-written, and directed by James Gray. Starring Brad Pitt (who also co-produced), Tommy Lee Jones, Ruth Negga, Liv Tyler, and Donald Sutherland, it follows an astronaut who ventures into space in search of his lost father, whose obsessive quest to discover intelligent alien life at all cost threatens the Solar System and all life on Earth. The project was announced in early 2016, with Gray saying he wanted to feature "the most realistic depiction of space travel that's been put in a movie". Pitt signed on to star in April 2017 and the rest of the cast joined later that year. Filming began around Los Angeles that August, lasting through October.
Ad Astra released on DVD, Blu-Ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray in the United States on December 17, 2019, and in the United Kingdom and Ireland on January 27, 2020, by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
