The Discovery dares to answer the age-old question: What happens to us after we die? In this 2017 drama, Jason Segel plays Will, the son of a scientist who empirically proves that the afterlife exists, triggering a mass casualty event.

This profound film meditates on the meaning of life and second chances. Its unique premise is unlike anything you’ve seen in other sci-fi films. Though the writing isn’t always the best, The Discovery will draw you in to its profound plot.
