POD (film)

POD is an upcoming sci-fi action horror film adapted from the 1997 video game by UbiSoft.

Plot
In the distant future, mankind has colonized hundreds of planets, including Io. When a virus breaks out and begins destroying the planet, the human population quickly escapes. Those who stay behind must race each other to catch the last evacuation ship, in a high-stakes death race. For Edna Sturgess (Ronan), a determined factory worker, the prize of winning is more than her own survival - it's her redemption and the future of humanity.
