Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt team up with director Doug Liman (Mr and Mrs Smith, The Bourne Identity) for the sci-fi action film Edge of Tomorrow arriving in theaters on June 6, 2014. Based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s novel All You Need is Kill, the cast also includes Jeremy Piven, Bill Paxton, and Lara Pulver.

The Plot:

The epic action of Edge of Tomorrow unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world.

Major William Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again.

But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
