Elevation is an upcoming post-apocalyptic thriller set to hit theaters on November 8, 2024, directed by George Nolfi. The film stars Anthony Mackie, Morena Baccarin, and Maddie Hasson, presenting a harrowing tale of survival against monstrous creatures in a world drastically altered by catastrophe. The story follows a single father, played by Mackie, who must leave the safety of his mountain home alongside two women—a scientist he initially distrusts and a young woman determined to keep them all alive—as they venture into the dangerous lowlands to rescue a young boy.
The narrative unfolds in the Rocky Mountains, where the only remaining habitable areas are high above 8,000 feet. Below this “line,” deadly creatures lurk, having wiped out a vast majority of humanity. The film explores themes of courage, sacrifice, and the struggle for survival against overwhelming odds. As they delve deeper into the perilous terrain, the trio must confront not only external threats but also their own fears and doubts.
Produced by Vertical Entertainment, Elevation is positioned to be a gripping entry in the monster movie genre, reminiscent of films like “A Quiet Place.” The film’s production budget is reported to be approximately $25 million, reflecting a commitment to high-quality effects and storytelling. With its blend of suspense and emotional depth, Elevation aims to captivate audiences and deliver a thrilling cinematic experience that underscores the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
