2067 (2020 film) | Official Movie Trailer | Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ryan Kwanten.br br The film is set on Earth in the year 2067, after it has been devastated by climate change. With all plant life on Earth extinct, civilization has collapsed around the globe; only one city in Australia has been barely able to hold out against these catastrophic changes, owing to artificial oxygen produced by the Chronicorp corporation. However, this oxygen is tainted and gradually causes a deadly affliction known as The Sickness.br br One day, Ethan Whyte, a tunnel worker for the city's power plant, is faced with the harsh fact that his wife Xanthe is afflicted with the Sickness. The next day, he is called before Regina Jackson, a Chronicorp research CTO, who explains that the Sickness will eventually wipe out humanity. During a test of the Chronicom, a prototype time machine Ethan's late father, quantum physicist Richard Whyte, had worked on before his death twenty years prior, the scientists received a radio signal from 407 years in the future with a message to specifically send Ethan to them to prevent the extinction of mankind. Despite the chance that Ethan might never be able to return, and his resentment against his father for apparently prioritizing his work over his own son, Xanthe and his guardian and work colleague Jude manage to change his mind.br br After surviving the traumatic time displacement, Ethan finds himself in a lush but lifeless rainforest, with only a device permanently fitted to his wrist by his father during his childhood and a hand computer named Archie as his only surviving pieces of equipment. Following Archie's instructions, he finds the entrance to a bunker-like structure, and before it, a skeleton wearing his jumpsuit and with a bullet hole in its skull, as well as a decaying Archie and the familiar wrist device. Shocked by the discovery of his apparently inexorable death in the near future, and sick from eating poisonous berries, he finds himself rescued by Jude, who followed him through time after his life readings, transmitted through the Chronocrom, were failing. After sharing their findings, they follow Archie's directions to another, still-functional bunker, which is revealed to be a Chronicom lab. It is there that Ethan's wrist device is revealed to be a DNA analyzer specifically made to grant him access to the Chronicom, which sets itself for automatic reactivation in four hours. From a holographic recording left by Richard Whyte, they learn that the Chronicom project originally entailed the reactivation of an atmospheric monitoring station which would ascertain the Earth atmosphere's breathability in the future and then transmit the data back to the past. When first activating the machine, Nathan was surprised to receive a message to send his own son to the future, so despite his misgivings, he prepared Ethan's wrist analyzer.
