Over the span of his decades long career, Bruce Willis has amassed a giant global following and has box office earnings totaling upwards of $3.6B domestically. While he’s widely known for being an action hero, Willis’ extensive skillset consistently results in celebrated roles across most every genre. His talent and personality has consistently kept global audiences along with his dedicated and expansive following captivated for years.

ANTI-LIFE/BREACH stars Bruce Willis who’s known worldwide for his performances in the DIE HARD franchise and GLASS, as well as Rachel Nichols (STAR TREK, G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA), and Thomas Jane (THE PREDATOR (2018), THE PUNISHER). The film also stars Cody Kearsley, who has developed an immense following and fan-base from his role in RIVERDALE.

A hardened mechanic (Bruce Willis) is one of a few chosen to stay awake and maintain an interstellar arc fleeing a dying planet Earth with a few thousand lucky souls on board… the last of humanity. Unfortunately, humans are not the only guests on board. A shape-shifting alien creature has also taken residence and its only goal is to kill as many people as possible. Now, the crew must think quickly and try to stop this menace before it destroys humanity.
