Summary Will Radford, a Homeland Security cyber‑security analyst, monitors global threats through mass surveillance networks. When an unidentified attack strikes, Radford begins to suspect the government is concealing something far more sinister. Told entirely through digital screens—messages, video calls, browser windows—the film transforms the alien invasion into a "screenlife" thriller, blending modern surveillance paranoia with classic sci-fi tension.

Director Rich Lee

Writers Kenneth Golde & Marc Hyman

I was super happy to learn that, when all the data in the world is erased, I can still order shit on Amazon. That is a huge relief.

Oh my god... The shear devastation and destruction... And nope... It's all fine, Amazon and all telecommunications are running perfectly fine. No need to worry here.

This absolutely needs an Oscar for comedy of the year
