Director: Joseph Kosinski
The new Tom Cruise starrer 'Oblivion' borrows from so many films, you could start a game of "spot-the-reference" the moment you settle into your seat. There's a little 'Total Recall', 'Minority Report', 'Moon' and 'Wall-E' in there, while the mid-air action scenes have a distinct 'Top Gun' feel to them.

Much of the planet has been turned into a radioactive wasteland, and the surviving population has been transported to Titan, Saturn's largest moon, where they must start afresh. Cruise plays Jack Harper, a blue-collar repairman responsible for maintaining the fleet of drones that patrol the lifeless planet. Jack and his wife Victoria (Andrea Riseborough), who live in a space-ship like house that floats high above the clouds, are the Earth's last remaining residents. Their mission - mining the planet for its remaining resources - will be completed in two weeks' time, after which the couple will head to Titan to join other humans. But then Jack rescues a mysterious woman (Olga Kurylenko) from the remains of a shot-down spacecraft, and it leads him to a colony of supposedly alien 'scavengers' that reveal a disturbing truth....
