Humanity’s first crewed interstellar mission finds a graveyard of alien ships, a plea for help, and in an age of effective immortality, the crew must decide whether to risk centuries of life, human and AI, to save refugees from machines far more advanced than their ships, still fighting a battle decades in the past.
FRONTIER ONE is a trailer for a feature film and following streaming online television series: An optimistic, technology-forward vision of humanity’s future, in grounded, character-driven, music and culture-rich science fiction in the tradition of For All Mankind, The Expanse, Andor, The Abyss, Arrival and Interstellar (and Master and Commander, in a different way).
Generations after Earth solved most of our physical problems, Frontier One, the first deep space FTL ship, carries hundreds of the children of Sol deep into the galaxy, laying a network of self-replicating probe bases and investigating a signal the captain believes is an invitation.
What’s worth risking forever?
A detour into a dead system brings the crew into contact with survivors of a old battle that need their help, and machines far more powerful than they can fight standing between them. The crew has to decide if it’s worth risking potential immortality, and their mission, for strangers.
Courage on the frontier comes at a cost.
