Starring: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, and Brendan Gleeson Directed by: Doug Liman Screenplay by: Christopher McQuarrie and Jez Butterworth Based on the novel, All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka If you like things to be on repeat, like your music for example, this just might be the movie for you. Humanity is at war with an intelligent alien race that has been on a conquest of Europe for the last five years. Many countries have joined together to fight off the aliens, known as Mimics, but humanity has lost nearly every battle since the war began. All the nations are coming together now to plan the final battle, Operation Downfall, a D-Day-like military operation. Major William Cage (Tom Cruise), has just been ordered to fight on the front lines in France during the invasion. He has been deemed a deserter trying to impersonate an officer. It's not totally clear why this has happened, but it may have something to do with him refusing the order
