Brad Pitt Deals With Daddy Issues and a Planetary Threat in Sci-fi Drama, Ad Astra

The new trailer for Brad Pitt's sci-fi drama Ad Astra is here, and it's time to take a dramatic journey into space. In the atmospheric footage, astronaut Roy McBride (Pitt) is injured in a strange event on Earth known as "the surge," and as he recovers, he soon finds himself being dragged back into the center of the action, thanks to the connection that his father holds to a looming cosmic disaster.

He sets off on a journey to find his missing father and unravel the mystery that threatens the survival of the planet, and it doesn't look like it's going to be an easy ride. Fortunately he's not doing it alone — Liv Tyler, Tommy Lee Jones, Ruth Negga, and Donald Sutherland costar. Get a peek at the epic production with the trailer above, as well as other released looks at the upcoming drama, and watch out for Ad Astra when it hits theaters Sept. 20.
