Don't Look Up Summary
Two low-level astronomers must go on a giant media tour to warn humankind of an approaching comet that will destroy planet Earth.Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), an astronomy grad student, and her professor Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) make an astounding discovery of a comet orbiting within the solar system. The problem - it's on a direct collision course with Earth. The other problem? No one really seems to care. Turns out warning mankind about a planet-killer the size of Mount Everest is an inconvenient fact to navigate. With the help of Dr. Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), Kate and Randall embark on a media tour that takes them from the office of an indifferent President Orlean (Meryl Streep) and her sycophantic son and Chief of Staff, Jason (Jonah Hill), to the airwaves of The Daily Rip, an upbeat morning show hosted by Brie (Cate Blanchett) and Jack (Tyler Perry). With only six months until the comet makes impact, managing the 24-hour news cycle and gaining the attention of the social media obsessed public before it's too late proves shockingly comical - what will it take to get the world to just look up?.—NetflixAstronomy student Kate discovers the existence of an unidentified comet. Her professor, Dr Mindy, calculates that the trajectory of the asteroid crosses that of the Earth and that an impact will take place in about six months, killing all life in the process. They travel to the White House to present their findings. However The White House has other plans and are trying to silence Dr Mindy and Kate. In their attempt to inform the population through a television program, nothing really changes. Nobody seems interested and they will soon find out why.—WikiWith the enormous Dibiasky Comet hurtling towards an utterly unprotected Earth on a collision course of Apocalyptic proportions, Michigan State University astronomers Dr Mindy and his doctoral student Kate take their shocking findings to the White House. Having less than six short months until the unprecedented planet-killer tears through our atmosphere and obliterates all life on Earth, it's up to U.S. President Orlean and her apathetic staff to let the world know and, hopefully, save humankind. However, with the press more interested in celebrity scandals than facts and people refusing to accept science, this is easier said than done. But first things first. Do we know there even is a comet? Are we 100% sure that we are all going to die?—Nick Riganas
