Another Earth

Mike Cahill writes and directs this indie sci-fi drama.

Brit Marling stars as Rhoda Williams, an ambitious college student who causes a fatal car crash while drunk driving, the same night that scientists discover an exact duplicate of Planet Earth in the solar system.

Of the family in the other car the mother and young child are killed, while the father, John (William Mapother), is left in a coma.

When Rhoda is released from prison four years later just as John emerges from his coma, she reaches out to the newly-discovered planet in her search for redemption.
