Passengers is a 2016 American science fiction film directed by Morton Tyldum and written by Jon Spaihts. The film stars Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Sheen, and Laurence Fishburne. It is based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Robin Slaughter.

The story is set in the year 2097, where a spaceship traveling to the distant colony of Homestead II is put into stasis by its artificial intelligence, Aurora, to preserve the passengers' life support. The crew awakens 90 years later to find that the ship has been traveling for another 90 years, and they are the only survivors. They must now navigate the ship and its mysteries to find a way to reawaken the sleeping passengers and ensure their survival.

The film explores themes of identity, memory, and the human condition. It received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its visual effects and performances, but criticism for its pacing and plot. Despite this, it was a commercial success, grossing over $300 million worldwide.

Passengers is notable for its use of advanced visual effects to create a realistic and immersive space environment. The film also features a unique blend of science fiction and drama, with a focus on the human experience rather than the technological aspects of space travel.
