After an alien race invades Europe, the world unites in a last stand against their advancing forces. With advanced technology, speed and ruthless aggression, humankind has never witnessed such a devastating enemy. William Cage (Tom Cruise) is a senior military officer who is inexperienced in front-line war. After a disagreement with a superior officer (Brendan Gleeson), he is deployed against his will into combat. Cage is introduced to his new team (who all dislike him) and is forced to battle alongside them during a massacre where everyone dies. But as soon as Cage dies he finds himself starting over in a time loop, repeating the same mission. He goes through the same day, advancing his skills and knowledge of the attack every time, before being killed and going back to the start. But during his time-loop, Cage encounters a hero of the war, Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), a soldier who may just hold the key to Cage\u2019s unique condition.<\/p>\n
Tom Cruise returns with an action-adventure based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka\u2019s novel All You Need Is Kill.
