Tensions flare in the near future aboard the International Space Station as a worldwide conflict breaks out on Earth. Reeling from this, the astronauts receive orders from the ground: take control of the station by any means necessary.

Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite, working with Nick Shafir’s Blacklist script, brings together a stellar cast that includes Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose, Chris Messina, Pilou Asbaek, John Gallagher Jr., Costa Ronin, and Masha Mashkova, in a high-stakes thriller set entirely in the confines of the I.S.S. as astronauts are called to duty in fateful and terrifying ways.

Coming to theaters on Jan. 19, 2024.

'I.S.S.' filmmakers recreate ISS to ground suspense thriller in realistic surroundings

There are scenes in the new movie "I.S.S." that could be mistaken for NASA footage filmed aboard the real International Space Station.

For those familiar with the layout and look of the space station's many modules, there are recognizable details that the filmmakers successfully recreated. And that is a good thing because if the title of your movie is "I.S.S." and you set all of your action aboard the ISS, then you better make sure that the ISS you show on screen matches the real International Space Station on which it is based.

The weekend's only new wide opener, the outer space thriller "I.S.S.," failed to make impact, eyeing a dull opening after drawing $1.2 million from 2,520 theaters across its opening day and previews.

Reviews have been mostly negative and early audiences are just as unimpressed, with "I.S.S." landing a "C-" grade through research firm Cinema Score and 62% on Rotten Tomatoes. Rivals project the film will reach only $3.3 million in its debut.
