As soon as a movie poster with the image of the hero is released in the company of a child or a girl, it attracts the attention of the audience and raises curiosity about the story, and raises questions about the nature of the relationship between the hero and the child.
And perhaps for the first time we come across posters for 3 films at once awaiting presentation in the coming days, and their events revolve around an adventure that the hero shares with a child or child, as an opportunity to monitor the extent of the differences in roles and the degree of interaction and harmony between the two parties from one movie to another.

Clooney plays Augustine Lofthouse, a famous astronomer who lives in an abandoned monitoring station in the Arctic, evacuated from everyone in anticipation of an unspecified disaster, to an unknown location.
Lofthouse discovers that there is a space shuttle with a malfunction on its way to Earth, so he takes it upon himself to warn of a catastrophe threatening the future of humanity.
