On the ground, his daughter, Chloe Steele (Cassi Thomson) is among those left behind, forced to navigate a world of madness as she searches for her lost mother and brother.

The film also stars Chad Michael Murray, Cassi Thomson, Nicky Whelan, Lea Thompson and Jordin Sparks. The film is produced by Paul Lalonde and Michael Walker and co-written by Paul Lalonde and John Patus. The director is veteran filmmaker Vic Armstrong (THOR, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, WAR OF THE WORLDS) renowned for directing action sequences.
