Saturn is a character-based science Fiction film about a family in a picturesque seaside town whose lives are upended when a strange planet appears in the sky on a collision course for Earth. The planet's appearance brings back a life that James thought he had left years ago when he settled down with his wife and young son. But, with the outside world in chaos and his perfect family slowly falling apart, James must decide between running from his destiny or sacrificing everything he loves. We slowly learn that James is more than meets the eye. He has a secret he’s never shared with anyone... a secret that is humanity's only hope. Taking inspiration from classic and modern sci-fi, Saturn asks a simple question: how far would you go to save those you love?

Grandpa S @GrandpaVietvet69 Sep 12, 2026 Excellent story line, well done for an Indie- well above expectations See more Camille E @RT58230723 Sep 11, 2026 Small cast, indie sci-fi gem 💎 Elijah Maximus (plays George) is definitely someone to look out for in the future! IMO the little boy, who plays George, stole the show. The movie has Saturn has a simple plot with a few choice themes woven into it. Very family friendly (no sex/blood/foul language), which these days for some reason seems to subtract from the quality of the film or just make it super cheesy, but not with this movie. Definitely worth a watch! See more Donn A @RT58687407 Sep 8, 2026 a bit dragging but the climax kinda make up for it. it wasn't bad See more L J @Cracky Sep 8, 2026 Really good! Great plot twist. Very family oriented sci fi movie. See more Joe D @RT91527006 Sep 6, 2026 My wife and I were captivated by this little jewel of an indie film. A clever, well written script, directed at a pace that kept our interest right to the very end, and a cast that played their parts to perfection. If it sounds as though we were impressed, then yes, you get a gold star, just like "Saturn"! We plan to keep our eyes open for more from Mew Pictures.
