UK/US (2006): Adventure/Drama/Sci-Fi/Thriller
This film envisages a world one generation from now that has fallen into anarchy on the heels of an infertility defect in the population. The world's youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction.
Set against a backdrop of London torn apart by violence and warring nationalistic sects, Children of Men follows a disallusioned beaurocrat Theo (Clive Owen) as he becomes an unlikely champion of Earth's survival. When the plantet's last remaining hope, a lone pregnant woman named Kee (Clare-Hope Ashitey), is threatened, this reluctant activist is forced to face his own demons and protect her from certain peril.
Co-written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón, the film also features Julianne Moore and Michael Caine. (Universal - Web site)
