The Astronaut
Completed
When astronaut Sam Walker (Kate Mara) returns from her first space mission, she’s found miraculously alive in a punctured capsule floating deep off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Required to be quarantined, her adopted father General William Harris (Laurence Fishburne) places Sam under NASA surveillance in a high security house, isolated in the woods. Reunited with her husband (Gabriel Luna), Sam appears to be reacclimating and preparing for her next mission. However, when disturbing occurrences begin happening around the property, she fears that something extraterrestrial has followed her back to Earth, and that the agencies meant to protect her are endangering her life. Not even those close to her can be trusted.
