Children of Men is a 2006 science fiction film loosely adapted from P.D. James' 1992 novel The Children of Men. The film was directed by Alfonso Cuaron, stars Clive Owen and Julianne Moore.
The movie describes an apocalyptic United Kingdom of 2027. The world grim has spent two decades of global human infertility which left humanity with less than a century to survive. Societal collapse, terrorism, and environmental destruction accompany the impending extinction, with Britain, perhaps the last functioning government, persecuting a seemingly endless wave of illegal immigrant refugees seeking sanctuary. In the midst of this chaos, Theo Faron (Clive Owen) must find safe transit for Kee (Claire-Hope Ashitey), a pregnant African refugee.
Comments & Critics
Although it's science fiction, the vision is pretty close to our current world, which makes the movie more credible.
