NETFLIX PRESENTS
[waves crashing]
[Peiqiang] Hurry up!
Look! It's Jupiter!
The largest planet in the Solar System.
[Qi] Daddy, there is an eye on Jupiter.
[chuckles] That's a huge windstorm on Jupiter.
What's a windstorm?
[Peiqiang] Jupiter is like a huge balloon,
composed of 90% hydrogen.
Grandpa, you know what's hydrogen?
What is hydrogen? [scoffs]
It's the fuel for Daddy's rocket.
You see, Grandpa.
Hydrogen is a fuel for Daddy's rocket.
Oh.
Liu Qi.
Huh?
[Peiqiang] A day may come
when you can see Jupiter without a telescope...
Daddy will come back.
[Qi] Where are you going?
[Qi giggling]
[Peiqiang] Daddy is going on a mission.
The world's most important mission.
[fire crackling]
[Peiqiang] After I leave,
you'll be Liu Qi's only guardian.
And with this,
you'll get underground city residency without drawing lots.
It's the only way
to make sure you'll survive
both you and Liu Qi.
-[Peiqiang] I didn't have a choice. -That's enough. Trust me, I get it.
[breathes heavily]
[sighs]
-[necklace jangling] -[breathes heavily]
[machine beeping]
[Peiqiang] Father...
I'm sorry.
[narrator] At first,
nobody cared about this disaster.
[reporter 1] The number of wildfires, has been the highest...
[narrator] Just another wildfire...
[reporter 1] ...several locations all over the planet.
[narrator] ...another drought...
[reporter 2] ...survival of the planet.
[reporter 3] Sea level continues to drop...
[narrator] ...another extinction of a species...
[reporter 4] And this had intervened to prevent further spreading of the riots.
[narrator] ...another vanishing city.
Until everyone was entwined with this disaster.
[rumbling, tinging]
[narrator] The Sun is rapidly degenerating and expanding.
At this rate, the Sun will engulf Earth in 100 years.
Within 300 years, the Solar System will no longer exist.
[birds squawking]
[narrator] To face this cataclysmic catastrophe,
mankind united like never seen before.
[man 1] ...to prevent the future catastrophe...
[narrator] In order to maximize the chance of human survival,
the United Earth Government
decided to propel Earth out of our Solar System
to fly towards our new home 4.2 light years away.
This mighty and enduring human migration
is named as the Wandering Earth Project.
[reporter 5] The first test starts in 36 months' time.
[narrator] Mankind will devote every possible resource
to construct 10,000 Earth Engines on the planet's surface
to propel Earth out of the Solar System.
[reporter 6] The height of every Propulsion Engine is 11,000 meters.
They will provide
a total of 150 trillion tons of propulsive force.
[soldier 1] Salute!
[reporter 7] The construction of the Navigation Platform
International Space Station will be completed
at the beginning of this month.
Three hundred eleven Chinese senior pilots
-and 709 engineers that were selected. -[man 2] One. Lift off.
[narrator] Meanwhile, to safeguard Earth's trajectory,
the United Earth Government consolidated global astronautical capabilities
and spent 30 years building the Navigation Platform International Space Station.
[reporter 8] The Navigation Platform International Space Station
will travel with a relative position of 100,000 kilometers from Earth.
It will provide warnings, navigations, and communications for Earth.
[man 3] Centrifugal drive, ready for activation.
[reporter 7] Worldwide sea level will rise 300 meters in ten years' time.
The cities of Haikou and Zhanjiang
will be the first to be hit by the tsunami.
[narrator] To deal with the rapidly deteriorating conditions,
the UEG constructed an underground city beneath each Earth Engine.
Until Earth's arrival at its new home,
these will be the only refuge for mankind.
[reporter 7] The right to underground residency
will be selected by drawing lots.
A winning lot cannot be transferred, shared, or gifted.
[narrator] Beginning now, mankind,
a tiny tribe of the Solar System,
will be embarking upon a 2,500-year wandering voyage.
-[man 3] Don't rush, walk slowly! -[reporter 8] The surface temperature
will drop to minus 70 degrees Celsius this year.
Surface residents from each district will be located...
Easy. Hey.
-Hey. -Don't push!
[clanks]
[clangs]
[somber music]
[whirs]
[pod hissing]
[Peiqiang] Daddy will fly up into the sky
and turn into a star
to always watch over you.
[Qi] Daddy, is it true that you're going to turn into a star?
[Peiqiang] Of course.
From now on, you just have to count
three,
two,
one.
[whispers] Look up.
You will see Daddy.
[somber music]
[man 4] Goodbye, Solar System.
[man 5 in French] Goodbye, Solar System.
[man 6 in German] Bye.
[overlapping dialogue]
[overlapping dialogue continues]
[child 1 in Mandarin] Goodbye, Solar System.

[Qi] What are you looking at?
[Duoduo] Hey, come on, it's just a day trip.
-What's the rush? -That's what it is to you.
I'm not planning on returning.
Get moving! We are going nowhere without the suits.
[man 10] You had the mahjong I needed, why didn't you discard it?
I was going to win. What the fuck?
Isn't that bunny girl's tail
-soft and sweet? -Hey, no.
-Are we meant to be together, angel? -No. I told you. You and I...
Now tell me, what are you doing here? It's New Year!
-[man 11 grunting] -I can't believe how cheeky you are.

Thanks, Yi Ge. See you.
[Qi] Hurry up and move.
[Duoduo] Didn't you say you are not coming back?
[Yi] Hold it.
You're not coming back?
And this is all you paid me?
For two of my thermal suits?
Yi Ge, I'll make it up when I get back.
For years, I have been known...
-for honest trading only. -[sizzles]
[Yi] No credit given.
[Qi] Yi Ge, I really need to go out today.
[tense music]
[Yi snickers] [Yi] What for?
Just stay here with your sis for the New Year.

[Qi] What are you yelling about? So embarrassing.
Wow.
Such strong winds today.
Why are they mining these mountains?
It's for fuel.
[Qi] Heavy fusion propulsion technology.
Well, basically, it's just burning rocks.
Whoa! That's the Earth Engine!
[Qi] These are Propulsion Engines.
There are 10,000 of them around the globe, made for pushing Earth forward.
This isn't the most gigantic one.
Those Torque Engines along the equator,
they are the real giants.

One more day until I go home.
Don't stir my dignity.
Save this moonshine for yourself.
Okay, I will store it somewhere safe for you.
Save it for your farewell party.
We are not getting another chance once we hibernate.
[Makarov chuckles]
Don't you know that
vodka was smuggled onboard back in Yuri Gagarin's day?
[automated voice 3] O2 level stable.
[steam hissing]
[indistinct chatter over PA]
We'll be entering Jupiter's orbit today, right?
Yes, we began preparing already for Emergency Protocol No. 3.
Something doesn't feel right.
There's no other way.
Earth can't leave the Solar System without using Jupiter's gravity.
[Makarov] It is a risk we must take.
God will bless us.
Once this is over, you can return home.
[Peiqiang] It's the last procedure for daily inspection.
Check the Centrifugal Drive Control unit.
Record the temperatures of the Centrifugal axle bearings.

Congratulations on the completion of your duty and journey home tomorrow.
[crew clapping]
[clapping continues]
My dear friend.
Let's see each other together on Earth three years from now.
But now, please, go catch up with your son.
You haven't spoken to him for a decade.
I'll see you again on Earth.
[chuckles]
Here, my friend.
[Makarov] You're stuck with me for the next three years now.

[wind howling]
[Qi] There's a supply station 50 kilometers ahead.
Once we get there, you go back by yourself.
Catch the first shuttle back, so grandpa won't worry about us.
[Duoduo sighs] [Duoduo] Oh, come on.
If your dad catches you, he's gonna kick your ass.
[chuckles] You know I'm a genius.
No one can catch me.
[police siren blaring]
[Qi] What the hell? Check point.
-[clanks] -[gasps]
-[Qi groans] -[man 16] How did you get in here?
Well, unregulated driving.
[man 16] Unregulated? You committed theft!
It's my grandpa's vehicle pass. I didn't steal it
[man 16] Nonsense.
All transporters belong to the UEG as public property.
It's not up to your grandpa!
[clanking]
[gasps]
[officer 1] What are you doing? It's way past bedtime.
[man 16] Yes, sir.
Uh, I'm just getting to know new friends, that's all.
More friends, more options. [chuckles]
[officer 1] Hand it over.
-You think it is yours? -Mm.
-Hit the sack. -Mm.
[man 16] Have a nice stroll.
I am Tim, eh.
My dad is from Beijing, my mom is from Melbourne.
Chinese-Australian coproduction.
Come on, just joking. Let's shake hands.
Huh?
Hello.
Coproduction.
[Tim groans] [Tim] Let go of me!
Ow, that hurts! [groaning]
[clanks, whirs]
[officer 2] Name of the visitor?
[Ziang] Han Ziang.
I'm here for my grandson.
[Ziang panting]
-[grunts] -[gasps]
-[Qi] Huh? -[grunts]
What?
[chuckles] Yes.
[officer 3] Someone's here to bail you out.
[Ziang grunts]
[chuckles] Hello, sir.
My grandson is a mechanic trainee.
He just wanted to touch a real thing.
Maybe you can, uh...
-go easy on him? -Hey.
Transporters are highly valuable public property.
-Uh... -Lending out your vehicle pass privately
is also a serious offense.
[inhales sharply]
Oh, well.
This is good stuff.
[Ziang] It has a collection of hotties from the past 50 years.
It's all in here.
[chuckles]
-Oh, well... -[sighs]
Same old trick.
[Ziang] Hm?
[lively music playing]
[upbeat music]
[Ziang humming]
[sighs] Stop doing that, old man.
[humming]
[chuckles]
[music stops]
[Ziang] What old man?
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
Running away from home.
-You're too old to be running away. -[Qi grunting]
He is your own father.
Where are you going to hide? You even brought your little sister out?
-Outside is dangerous! -[Qi whimpers]
-And you! -[whimpering]
You learned to steal now?
Huh?
You stole my pass!
Do you do whatever your brother tells you to do?
-Are you stupid? -[whimpers]
[Qi] I didn't intend to bring her along.
-But she was begging me... -You're her brother!
-...to take her. -[wailing]
-Liu Qi! -[grumbles]
-You're such a liar! -Here she goes again.
[Tim] Nicely said.
Ignoring your elder's advice is so--
Why don't you mind your own business?
[Tim] Don't take it out on the wall, take it out on me if you--
-[crackles] -What the hell?

This is unit 171-11.
We have entered the Shanghai region.
[man 25 over PA] Unit 11, be alert. We've received a distress signal.
Please check the surrounding area.
[Ziang] Copy that.
[Lei over PA] 01, 01, collapsed subway station ahead.
Please detour.
[man 25 over PA] Copy that.
[Ziang] Duoduo.
Don't be afraid.
This was Grandpa's home.
Look at those tall buildings,
once, they were full of people.
Back then,
no one was concerned about the Sun.
Everyone was concerned about
the thing called money.
Grandpa couldn't make a lot of money back then,
but I was happy every day.
Especially on my way home every day,
I could smell from far away your grandma's cooking.
[Ziang chuckles]
[Ziang] Actually, to be honest, she could barely cook,
except for the scallion noodles.
I tell you,
her scallion noodles...
[chuckles]
...were incredibly salty.
But I slurped them up.
Cleaned my bowl every time. [chuckles]
[MOSS] Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.
Lieutenant Colonel Makarov.
Please initiate hibernation mode as soon as possible.
Yeah, don't worry.
Don't worry, your son will be safe.
[pod hissing]

[pod closes]
MOSS. Where's my son now?
Why are they in Shanghai?
Transporter 373
has been integrated into the rescue mission.
En route to Hangzhou 01 Earth Engine.
So who's in command?
Connect me to him now.
[MOSS] Incoming connection.
Captain Wang Lei, this is the space station.
I am astronaut Liu Peiqiang.
[Lei] Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.
I'm the unit commander for CN171-11.
Your instructions.
[Peiqiang] Captain Wang Lei, within protocols,
please resettle the civilians
into the nearest underground city quickly.
[Lei] Lieutenant Liu Peiqiang,
we have an rescue mission.
Thanks for your understanding.
I'll resettle the civilians at the Jiaxing refuge center.
But a transporter needs special skills.
-We'll be needing driver Han Ziang. -[sighs]
Over.
[inhales deeply]
Captain Wang Lei. This is a dangerous rescue mission,
-please ensure the safety of Han Ziang. -I'll stay!
I can drive this transporter, too.
When we get to Jiaxing, let Grandpa and the others get off.
[chuckles] You can operate shit.
Just follow the orders.
Listen to me Captain Wang Lei, he is just a kid.
He is not capable--
What rights do you have to make decisions for me?
My mom's death...
was your decision.
[Ziang] Liu Qi, what are you talking about?
Tell me I'm wrong.
[young Qi wailing]
[Peiqiang] After I leave,
only one guardian can accompany Liu Qi
-into the underground city. -Mama!
She's gravely ill.
She won't hold up much longer.
Stopping treatments...
[fire crackling]
...is the only way to ensure both of you and Liu Qi
will survive.
That's enough. I get it.
[breathes heavily]
[Ziang] So be it.
[Peiqiang] Father...
I'm sorry.
[man 26 over PA] Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

MOSS, what's the status on Earth?
Jupiter's gravitational spike detected.
[MOSS] All surface communications in Shanghai Region were lost.
[rumbling]
[Lei] Brace yourselves.
Something is about to hit us from behind.
MOSS, surface status report.
Due to Jupiter's gravitational spike,
Earth is experiencing global aftershocks,
tectonic plates fracturing in Asia and Pacific.

[Da] Boss, we've lost contact with the other units.
I can't reach them!
Transport the Lighter Core with me.
Chui Zi ,Ya Tou, save the others. Liu Zi, find a way out!
-Everyone, abandon the vehicle! -[Zi] Yes, sir!

That is normal.
-That is normal. -[Lei] Old man, quick on feet.
[rumbling]
[beeping]
Boss, the Lighter Core works
[Ziang] Fuck you!
Are you still hauling this damned ball now?
This is the last Lighter Core intended for Hangzhou.
We lost all our units.
This Lighter Core is Hangzhou's only hope.
Nice speech,
but what about my two grandkids?
[glass shatters]
[cocks gun]
[flare gun fires]
[Zi] Boss, this building looks intact.
We can try to climb up from inside.
[Lei] Good.
Let's get the Lighter Core out now.

Load... people.
[Lei over PA] Stop wasting time. Load the Lighter Core and people together!
[whirring]
[He] Slow down. I've become acrophobic.
[ice crackling]
Boss, I found an opening.
We can't use dynamite here! This building is crumbling!

I saved a child.
She was handed over to me by countless hands.
I really don't know who her parents were.
Every soul under the water
is her mother and father.
I named her Han Duoduo.
[Ziang chuckles]
[Ziang] I named her after my daughter.
-[Duoduo] Grandpa! -[Qi] I am so sorry, old man!

Stop moving.
You will both freeze to death here!
[Duoduo] I'm not leaving with you.
I'm going home with my brother.
Boss, marching to Hangzhou at full speed,
will take three hours--
[Qi] Transporter is gone.
So, I'm no longer useful
to you.

People on Earth are abandoned.
My son is still out there!
Have you lost your mind? Because of your son?
We're in a low consumption mode.
You'll be handed over to the military court!
Low consumption mode is a ruse!
See for yourself.

Perhaps MOSS is malfunctioning.
[Peiqiang] It's insubordination.
[Makarov] What are you planning to do?
[Peiqiang] Head to the central control module.
Stop the space station.
[automated voice 4] All violators,
stop contact immediately with Earth
and return to hibernation area.
Lieutenant Peiqiang...
Liu, are you absolutely sure we have to go through the airlock?
[Peiqiang] Makarov,
maybe you shouldn't come with me.
You won't make it without me, Peiqiang.
Plus, let me ask you, do you think you know the exterior like I do?
Don't forget, we Russians invented space station 100 years ago.
[sighs]
The airlock wasn't designed for exiting.
-Are you sure this is going to work? -[beeping]
I'm sure.
[electricity buzzes, powers down]
We want to take our kids fishing on Lake Baikal.

Calm down. Calm down.
[Yiyi panting]
[whimpers]
[Qi] The mission of our rescue unit
is to restart the Torque Engines along the equator.
But Jupiter's gravitational force has thinned out our atmosphere.
The aircraft can't fly anymore.
I don't know how many aircrafts had survived.
Thank you.
Calm yourself. Talk to us after you eat.
Huh? [chuckles]
Why is there a foreigner in a Chinese rescue unit?
Who's a foreigner?
My father is from Beijing.
I am an authentic...
-Chinaman. -[electricity crackles]

Well, that's good news.

Our unit has to reactivate Hangzhou 01 Earth Engine.
[panting] Does anyone copy?
Please reply.
Magma has leaked into Hangzhou underground city.
-[alarms blaring] -[Lei] There are 350,000 people trapped.
Our Lighter Core
is the only hope they have left.
Does anyone copy?
-[Lei over PA] I'm the commander... -Can't handle that much.
The engines along the equator are the more important.
It'll take more than ten hours to get there.

[Yiyi] Everyone, our mission is to restart Sulawesi 03 Torque Engine.
Only a handful of Lighter Core can make it now.
The survival of Earth depends on us.

-Emergency technical observer of UEG. -Oh.
[He] What a high rank for someone so young.

We're going to Sulawesi.
[Lighter Core beeping]

[automated voice 4] Will all violators stop contact immediately with Earth
and return to hibernation area?
[Makarov] I've got to correct you.
It will take more than 2,500 years
for frozen Lake Baikal to liquefy.
[panting] That's okay.
We have children,
-and their children will have children. -[chuckles]
[Peiqiang] There'll be a day that ice turns into water.
[Makarov] There's another 20 to 30 meters until A3 intersection.
Look! A1 intersection exploded.
Maybe there are others who knew about the insubordination too.
And they are trying to make their way to the central control module.
[Peiqiang] Makarov, stay close to me!
Hurry! Climb quickly!
Watch out!
[Makarov yelling]

-Makarov! -[Makarov screaming]

That's a big fellow.
Is that a whale?
[Lei] Maybe.
[Qi] Why is it here?
[Lei] It had swam this far.
It was probably heading home.
[Qi] Heading home?
[Lei] Once the mission is completed, you can reunite with your father.
[Qi] When I was a child,
someone told me that he is just like a star in the sky.
When I lift my head, I'll see him.
Later, I realized it was all lies, you know?
In Beijing...
it's impossible to see the stars.
Actually, in my heart...
that star no longer exists.
[Qi] Grandpa told me to watch over my sister...
and take Duoduo home.
I'll do that.
I'll take Duoduo home.
[Earth Engines rumbling]
[Qi] Earth Engines have restarted.
[Lei] It's a saturated rescue.
Other units have been ahead of us.
[whooshes, rumbles]
[soldier 2] Have we succeeded?
[Yiyi] These are the last remaining Torque Engines.
All have been restarted.
[chuckles]
We did it.
[soldier 2 over radio] Once the readings rise back to normal,
we can all go home. [laughs]
[Lei] The distance to Jupiter is still decreasing.
[MOSS] Only 0.42 second after activating Emergency Protocol No. 3,
MOSS had already calculated every possible outcome.
The UEG was informed,
but still chose to perform this massive rescue mission.
But this mission was predetermined to be futile.
The evacuation of the space station
indicates that the rescue mission has failed.
In three hours,
the Earth will breach Jupiter's Roche limit
and begin the inevitable disintegration process.
MOSS will broadcast globally.
-[electricity crackle] -[MOSS] Fifteen.
Fourteen.
Thirteen.
Twelve.
The Wandering Earth Project has failed.
The Earth's Navigation Project renamed as Helios Project.
[alarm blares]
[MOSS] This is the Navigation Platform International Space Station.
Transmitting the final broadcast to the world.
In the past 36 hours,
mankind experienced its biggest threat to human survival.
Over 1.5 million rescue personnel fought and sacrificed around the globe.
As a result, 71 percent of Propulsion Engines
and 100 percent of Torque Engines
have been fully reactivated.
Unfortunately,
Jupiter's gravitational pull
has surpassed the combined power of all engines.
The Earth has missed its last chance of escape.
In order to sustain human civilization,
MOSS will initiate the Helios Project.
Three hundred thousand human embryos are stored
on the Navigation Platform Space Station,
along with 100 million seeds of basic crops,
DNA maps of all known animals and planet species,
and digital libraries of all human civilizations.
This is to ensure a successful revival on the newly hosted planet.
Stop robbing us!
We're all dying! We're all dying!
[MOSS] You are all heroes of the Earth.
We will forever remember to honor you.
We will shoulder your aspirations
and send it to our new home
in 2,500 years.
-Everything will come to an end... -[child sobbing]
in the last seven days
before Earth collides with Jupiter.
[MOSS] Let us go home.
-[MOSS] Hug your parents. -[glass shatters]
[MOSS] Kiss your beloved partner and children.
Gather with your family for a proper goodbye.
Good luck to you.
-[MOSS] End of broadcasting. -[whimpers]
Farewell.
[yells]
Hu Kou, I wanna go home.
Seven days, where? Yeah, right! [sobbing]
Within a day, our atmosphere would be drained empty.
Everyone will die of asphyxiation.
Where are the seven days you were talking about?
CN171-11, all members move immediately onboard.
[panting]
Ready to evacuate.
-[Zi] Screw you, damn Jupiter! -[rapid gunfire]
Screw you, Jupiter!
[screaming]
[MOSS] Please get ready, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.
MOSS will assist your return to the backup hibernation unit.
MOSS, this is an emergency communication.

[Qi] I can no longer recall your face, you bastard.
Jupiter is right in front of me.
When are you coming back?
[Peiqiang] From the day the Wandering Earth Project initiated,
there was no turning back.
[sighs]
[Peiqiang] Hey.
Look, look.
It's Jupiter.
[Peiqiang] The largest planet in the Solar System.
[young Qi] Daddy, there's an eye on Jupiter.
[Peiqiang] That's not an eye.
That's a huge windstorm on Jupiter.
Jupiter is like a huge balloon...
composed of 90 percent...
[Qi] Hydrogen.
Li Yiyi!
If we mix Jupiter's and Earth's atmospheres,
is that combustible?
[Yiyi grunts]
[Qi] By now, Jupiter has siphoned at least 30 billion liters of oxygen.
The combustion shockwave will be over Mach 1,000.
[Qi over radio] The generated force will be sufficient to push Earth away.
A hydrogen-oxygen mixture can be ignited with a single match.
All we need now is a match.
No, no, the distance between planets is over 70,000 kilometers.
Even ballistic missiles can't reach that far!
Li Yiyi.
What about this match?
What match?
[thrilling music]
I can modify the engine's operating system...
I can blast the beam much higher!
Wang Lei, Jupiter's combustion shockwave can propel Earth out from Jupiter.
Yes, I'm listening.
No need to yell.
Come on. Let's light up Jupiter!
[Zi] That's a suicide mission.
[Lei] Yes, but it's much better than waiting to die.
Anyone wanna quit?
[thrilling music]
[MOSS] The Helios Project's evacuation procedure is initiated.
[rumbling]
[Peiqiang over PA] All rescue units... All rescue units are evacuating.
[Lei over PA] Calling Navigation Platform International Space Station.
Do you copy?
Repeat, calling Navigation Platform Space Station.
We came up with a new plan.
Please respond.
All communications have been blocked.
[Yiyi] Attention, everyone.
We only have 30 minutes left.
This mission has three steps.
[Yiyi] Step one. Shut the engine down to gain control.
[powers down]
[Yiyi] There's seven nozzles in an Earth Engine.
I'll shut down the engine temporarily and direct all energy into one nozzle
to generate a plasma beam that would reach high enough.
Does anyone recall the 12 Chimes of Spring festival?
I wrote that program.
[crowd] Happy New Year!
[rapid explosion]
-That was you-- -Boring, I know.
I'll use it to override the system so we can have control.
Step two. Once we override the system,
the auto-unlock mechanism won't work. So, it has to be unlocked manually.
Captain Wang and Antenna, Scarface and Band-Aid.
-Well, my name is-- -Whatever.
[chuckles]
-The manual unlocking depends on you. -Pretty cool, huh?
[laughs]
The last step. Put the Lighter Core into the reaction chamber,
reignite the Earth Engine.
[imitates engine whirring]
[Yiyi] Blast the plasma beam 70,000 kilometers into space
and light up Jupiter.
The combustion shockwave will travel along the atmospheric transference,
boom, propelling Earth away. Get it for me, please.
Liu Qi, you'll drive the Lighter Core to the reaction chamber.
Installation procedure, uh...
is basically automatic.
Hey, China man. You go, you go with him.
Why am I involved?
[He] Are you kidding?
Installing a Lighter Core requires a minimum of 13 months training.
Wanna take this place?
[laughs]
Once the mission is accomplished,
we all head to the underground city immediately.
This wave will definitely be a very...
a very...
humongous.
This is a make or break move.
Succeed or die, any questions?
[all] I...
Perfect.
[He] Hey.
There.
It's the control center.
[Lei over PA] Attention, all evacuating rescue units.
We need your assistance.
Please slow down and stop.
We need your support.
Please slow down and stop.
[engine stops]
[gasps]
Looks like we are on our own now.
[He] Oh, mighty Newton.
Enlighted Einstein.
Holy Hawking. [panting]
Also, Amitabha Buddha.
Gang Zi will bless us.
I learned the installation procedure...
during my internship.
Don't forget, your brother is a genius.
He's a genius.
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music continues]
[clangs, beeps]
Wait. This is an emergency mission.
We need your help.
I'm sorry, but it's all over.
I don't care about your mission.
-I wanna leave in one piece. -Please you gotta help us.
Evacuate, it's too dangerous.
[He] Over here.
Captain Wang. We're counting on you.
Don't worry. Zhou Qian, take Duoduo upstairs call for backup.
Roger.
[Qian] Duoduo, let's go.
[Duoduo panting]
[Yiyi panting]
[inhales deeply]
[engine powers down]
The Earth Engine has been shut down.
[Lei] All right, men, let's hit it.
[Qi] It's fully automatic! What are you browsing at?
[Tim] Why is the manual so thick if it's automatic?
-[brakes screeching] -[grunts]
What are you doing?
[Tim] Shit!
I'm trying to figure it out!
[Yiyi] Wire cores without color markings.
They need to be in sequence. Everything is in gray.
This is for the transporter's broadcast. This is for connecting up there.
Press to speak.
-Huh? What's up there? -Space station.
[all groaning]
[Lei] Come on. Next.
Uploading trojan 12 Chimes of Spring festival.
[rumbling]
[tense music]
[all groaning]
Requesting unit CN171-11.
[Duoduo over PA] Location Sulawesi 03 Torque Engine.
We're executing our last rescue mission.
-Requesting support. -I don't understand.
Why are these people still trying?
It's a waste of time. Don't bother.
[all groaning]
Unit CN171-11.
[Duoduo] We have one last rescue plan.
Requesting support, requesting support!
We're the rescue unit CN171-11.
[Duoduo over PA] We still have one last rescue mission.
-Requesting support... -[man 35] Would be great...
-...requesting support! -...if there was miso soup.
[Lei over PA] We're done with the last one.
What's next?
Just one moment!
It should be fully automatic.
The next step is manual labor.
The program he wrote lacked the percussion pin procedure.
[tense music]
[Lei] You call this...
a pin?
No rescue units responding.
[Duoduo over radio] Nobody is responding.
[action music]
[all groaning]
[brakes screeching]
[foreboding music]
[Tim] What is Error 425?
What does it mean?
Li Yiyi!
How is this fully automatic?
Didn't I give you the manual?
-I know, but... -[Yiyi] It's for situations like this.
I know, but what is Error 425?
Read it yourself.
[engine revs, clanks]
[Tim grunts]

Li Yiyi, you know what, you are...
Tim. Helmet on!
-Wait a moment! -Forget about it!
[tense music]
[tense music continues]
[Qi] Okay, what's next?
[Tim] Fully automatic. It says it's should be fully automatic.
[whirs]
Why is it stuck here?
Without a hardware tweak, you won't be hacking shit. Let me...
[Duoduo] Hu Kou, where are you?
I'm not getting any response.
There's enough space behind.
[He] More fun crossing in front of you.
-[Yiyi] We don't have too much time. -[beeps]
[door opens]
-[suits whirring] -[Zi and Lei groaning]
This freaking door is jammed. [grunts]
Here.
[He panting]
[both grunt]
[Yiyi] Lao He! How can you fix it without a diagram?
Shut up. Let me focus.
[He] The jumpers haven't been touched in over a decade.
One mistake, it'll be game over.
[ignitor powering down]
Li Yiyi, the ignitor is ready.
No. It says installation incomplete.
Looks like it's almost done.
[Qi grunts]
[Tim] Liu Qi!
Liu Qi! Are you completely crazy?
[Qi] Save your nonsense.
Get out and help.

Have you found the problem?
[Qi] It's stuck inside.
-[all groan] -[Qian panting]
[Qian] Li Yiyi.
You go on. Go!
-Duoduo, leave me here. -No.
Hurry up and evacuate to the underground city.
[automated voice 6] Warning! Overheat!
-Thermal suit power is low. -[Qi grunting]

[Duoduo whimpering]
[Duoduo] Help!
-Can anyone help us? -[Qi grunting]
[Duoduo] Hey! Can anyone help us, please?
[Duoduo sobbing]
[keypad beeping]
[MOSS] Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.
Please follow MOSS' instructions, and return to the backup hibernation unit.
[Duoduo] Uncle Liu Peiqiang.
It's Han Duoduo.
We still have one last hope.
Duoduo? Are you okay?
[Peiqiang] Is Liu Qi still there?
We're all here. We're at Sulawesi 03 Torque Engine.
-[Duoduo] We'll ignite Jupiter... -[exhales sharply]
...to propel Earth away.
We're gonna need some...
[MOSS] Unfortunately, seven hours ago,
this plan was already proposed by the Israeli scientists.
The probability of success is zero.
[Peiqiang] Don't worry, Duoduo.
I will try to contact the UEG.
[alarm blaring]
[MOSS] Details of the plan have been uploaded.
[French Representative] This is the United Earth Government,
state your identity immediately to proceed with transmission.
UEG, I'm Chinese astronaut Liu Peiqiang.
Please send a global order now
to deploy all rescue units in the vicinity of Sulawesi as reinforcements.
[French Representative] Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.
During these last moments before Earth's collision with Jupiter,
tasking personnel to perform a mission with zero probability of success
while forsaking the opportunity to reunite with their loved ones
is an order that we cannot pass down.
[sighs]
Today...
it's the first day of the Chinese New Year.
It was meant to be a day of reunion.
As a father,
I don't want this to be the last reunion.
I won't give up.
We have nothing to lose.
[Peiqiang] For the sake of our children...
I'm begging you.
[French Representative] As a United Earth Government,
we cannot accept your request.
However, as a private individual,
I will connect the rescue unit to the global broadcasting system.
And the rest will be up to the will of each individual.
[man 36] I don't understand why should this happen to us?
[woman 11] Please, help me look...
-[man 36] We have no hope to live. -[woman 11] Please, I can't find...
-[man 37] Be careful. -[man 36] We have no hope to survive.
[woman 11] Somebody...
[Duoduo over PA] Hello, personnel from every rescue unit.
My name is Han Duoduo.
I'm a middle school student.
Our rescue unit is executing our final mission.
Right now, I'm terrified.
[Duoduo] My legs are trembling.
Everybody is going all out,
but there is nothing I can do to help!
Yesterday, my teacher asked us.
"What is hope?"
In the past,
I never, never believed in hope.
But now, I do believe in hope.
I believe that for the times we're living in now,
hope is precious like a diamond.
-[Duoduo over PA] Hope. -[grunting]
[Duoduo over PA] Hope is the only way to guide us home.
Please come back and fight together with us.
Light up Jupiter, let's all save our planet.
We located at Sulawesi 03 Torque Engine,
under the command of Captain Wang Lei.
Rescue unit CN171-11.
Han Duoduo.
End of broadcast.
[MOSS] The global broadcast is over.
I... I want to go home.
I wanna see my mother.
Listen, when the Earth is destroyed,
there'll be nobody, nobody left to see!
We're going back.
[tires screeching]
[all] Allright, let's go! Let's go!
We're not unlikely to make it home in seven days.
Why are we returning then? What's the point?

[Peiqiang] Request to plunge into the plasma beam.
[French Representative] Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.
The goal of the Wandering Earth Project is to maximize the survival of mankind.
The Helios Project ensures the continuity of human civilization.
-We need more time to discuss it. -We're running out of time!
A civilization without lives
is meaningless.
[alarm blaring]
[MOSS] As the operating system for Helios Project,
MOSS will not permit any form of action
to sacrifice the Navigation Platform.

[Peiqiang] Dad is going on a mission again.
This is the most important mission...
in Dad's life.
[Qi over PA] You said that... [sobs]
...when I can see Jupiter. [sighs]
-You'll be back. -[sobs]
[Qi] You lied.
[whimpers]
When I left, you were four years old.
And now...
you're a grown man.

[Qi] Earth...
survived.
[upbeat music]
[narrator] The Sun
is located at the Milky Way's Orion arm.
Its mass constitutes 99.68 percent of the Solar System.
Now, the core of the Sun is rapidly degenerating
-and expanding. -[man 40] Go to have a look there!
[narrator] Earth will be engulfed.
[children laughing]
[narrator] To survive, mankind began a groundbreaking project
to maneuver the entire planet
to a new home located 4.2 light years away.
[Qi] I miss you all so badly!
-Hi, guys. -[man 41] Sir.
[narrator] The project is divided into five phases.
Phase one. Mankind will construct 10,000 thrusters
-for Earth's propulsion... -Hey, that's him.
...called Earth Engines,
along with 10,000 underground cities to protect human lives.
I... I didn't do it.
See you!
[grunts]
[narrator] Phase two.
Activating the Torque Engines encircled along the equator
to stop Earth's rotation.
A non-rotating Earth
will create mega tsunamis that will sweep through the planet,
eradicating half of the global population.
[Qi] I'm all set and ready to go.
If there is no accident...
-[narrator] Phase three. The Earth... -...in three hours...
will use the gravitational force of the Sun
and Jupiter for final acceleration,
embarking on a voyage of wandering.
Will your sister come along?
[Qi] Screw you.
After all these years,
you haven't changed one bit.
[narrator] Phase four.
When the Earth leaves the Solar System, the Earth Engines will turn on full power,
spending 500 years to accelerate to five one thousandths
of the speed of light, then gliding for 1,300 years.
After that, reversing Earth Engines' directions,
spending another 700 years in deceleration.
[Duoduo] Liu Hu Kou.
Where have you been?
Why is Li Yiyi here too?
[narrator] Phase five.
Earth begins to join the targeted sollar system,
arriving at our new home,
becoming a new planet of the targeted sollar system.
Stop calling me Hu Kou. Where are your manners?
Call me brother.
[automated voice 9] Liu Qi.

Beijing No. 3 Transportation Division reminds you.
Routes are countless.
Safety is foremost.
With unregulated driving,

[Duoduo] Can you drive? Liu Hu Kou!
[Qi] Li Yiyi! You're blocking my view with that bag!
[Yiyi] Not my fault.
[Yiyi] How am I blocking your vision when I'm sitting behind you?
[narrator] This project will last for 100 generations.
-[Duoduo] Be careful, someone is there! -[Qi] Oh, shit, what's going on?
[narrator] We have no idea what the new Sun at 4.2 light years away
will bring to our new home.
But from this day on, the courage and perseverance of mankind
-will be etched among the stars. -[horn blaring]
[narrator] This long voyage of hope through despair
will last 2,500 years across the cosmos.
It is also known as the Wandering Earth Project.
