Until recently, 65 was a movie shrouded in mystery save for the fact we knew it featured an astronaut and was being written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (the writing duo behind A Quiet Place) and produced by Sam Raimi. Naturally, this made it one of the many new movies coming in 2023 that we couldn't wait to lay eyes on...and it's out now.
65 was revealed to be a sci-fi thriller that sees an unlucky spacefarer (Adam Driver) crash-landing on a foreign planet... 65 million years in the past when dinosaurs walked the Earth.
With one shot at rescue, Driver and the only other remaining survivor are thrown into a deadly battle with the planet's fearsome fauna as they journey across the planet to try and get back off-world.
Read on to find out everything we know about 65 right now now that the film is in theaters.

65 cast
As we've already mentioned, Adam Driver is front and center in 65. He plays futuristic pilot, Mills who just so happens to find himself facing off with prehistoric Earth's powerful predators after his crash-landing.
Driver is best known to most for his part as Kylo Ren in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, so he's no stranger to science fiction. His other notable roles include star turns in BlacKkKlansman and Marriage Story (both of which earned him Oscar nominations) and appearances in The Last Duel and House of Gucci. He was most recently seen in White Noise, which arrived on Netflix on December 30, 2022.
Thanks to the trailer, we know that Mills isn't totally alone on his quest, as one other person survived the crash; a child named Koa, played by Ariana Greenblatt. Greenblatt is due to appear in Barbie and Borderlands.
Avatar: The Way of Water's Chloe Coleman is also attached to the film; she plays Mills' daughter, Nevine.
