Mortal Engines
Some scars never heal
Directed by Christian Rivers
Produced by Scholastic Productions, Silvertongue Films
A visually ambitious steampunk adventure set in a dystopian future where mobile cities consume each other, driven by spectacle and action rather than intimate character work.
Many thousands of years in the future, Earth’s cities roam the globe on huge wheels, devouring each other in a struggle for ever diminishing resources. On one of these massive traction cities, the old London, Tom Natsworthy has an unexpected encounter with a mysterious young woman from the wastelands who will change the course of his life forever.
