The spaceship, Starship Avalon, on its 120-year voyage to a distant colony planet known as "Homestead II" and transporting 5,259 people has a malfunction in two of its sleep chambers. As a result, two hibernation pods open prematurely and the two people that awoke are stranded on the spaceship, still 90 years from their destination.[6][7] Aurora Dunn (Jennifer Lawrence) is a writer from New York who is interested in cosmic travel.[8] Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) is a mechanical engineer from Denver who wants to leave Earth and bought the ticket for the journey.[8] The two soon discover that the malfunction that caused them to be awoken prematurely is not the only problem afflicting the huge spaceship.
