With an incredible cast led by Kevin Hart, Cate Blanchett, and Jamie Lee Curtis, as well as a screenplay by Craig Mazin (The Last of Us and Chernobyl, beware), it is clear that the movie is going to be a spectacle.

According to the synopsis of Borderlands, Lilith (Cate Blanchett), an infamous treasure hunter with a mysterious past, returns to her home planet of Pandora to find the missing daughter of the powerful Atlas (Edgar Ramirez). To do so, she forms an unexpected alliance with a diverse team of misfits: Roland (Kevin Hart), a former elite mercenary now desperate for redemption; Tiny Tina (Arianna Greenblatt), a wild pre-adolescent demolitions expert; Krieg (Florian Munteanu), Tina’s muscular protector; scientist Tannis (Jamie-Lee Curtis); and Claptrap (Jack Black), a very peculiar robot.
These strange heroes will have to fight against alien monsters and dangerous bandits to search for and protect the missing girl, who may hold the key to unimaginable power. The fate of the universe could be in their hands, but they will fight for something more: each other.
