Kate Mara is The Astronaut in first-look clip from sci-fi thriller

September 22, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Coinciding with its UK digital release, a first look clip has landed online from writer-director Jessica Varley’s sci-fi thriller The Astronaut featuring Kate Mara; watch it below…

Humanity is about to learn that we’re not alone in this mysterious sci-fi thriller. When astronaut Sam Walker 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 places Sam under NASA surveillance in a high security house, isolated in the woods. Reunited with her husband, 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.

The Astronaut is out now in the UK and coming soon to the US.
