Later, when Dylan tries to pay for drinks at a bar, he discovers he’s been robbed. He identifies Harry from street traffic cameras.

The next day, Harry visits his friend Ben, who owns a pawn shop and fences his stolen goods. Harry shows him a variety of cell phones, Dylan’s watch, and Dylan’s USB crypto wallet. Neither of them knows what the USB device is. Ben plugs the device into an old computer but can’t open it. He recommends that Harry visit Frank, a fence in Chinatown who knows more about electronics.

Harry returns home to find Dylan threatening Rosie. Dylan tells Harry he is the heir to a criminal organization and gives him 6 hours to bring the device back. Harry goes back to Frank’s store, but Frank refuses to help him. With no other options, he uses a payphone to contact his friend Allan, a police detective. Allan discreetly gives him an address in Brooklyn linked to Frank. In Brooklyn, Harry visits an electronics store run by Frank’s grandson.

CAPTURING BIGFOOT

Capturing Bigfoot is a 2026 American documentary film directed by Marq Evans.

Synopsis

The documentary centers on the personalities of Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin, who claimed in 1967 to have 59 seconds of footage showing a Bigfoot walking through a wooded area of northern California. Through interviews, Evans “creates rounded profiles of the good ol’ boys at the heart of the story, none of whom seem completely trustworthy.”[8] Telling a fuller picture of who Roger Patterson was, Evans leans on Clint Patterson, whose relationship with his father was considered “hero worship,” but the son also called him a “liar.”[7][8] The end of Capturing Bigfoot claims to show the recently found footage of Patterson and Gimlin rehearsing.[5][7]

Plot

The Dashwood sisters—Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret—and their mother must contend with possible poverty after Mr. Dashwood’s estate passes to their half-brother John Dashwood and his snooty wife, Fanny. Fanny convinces John not to grant the sisters the inheritance his father suggested, and the pair quickly move into the estate, disrupting the sisters’ lives. Fanny’s eldest brother, Edward Ferrars, visits and quickly develops a deep bond with Elinor, to Fanny’s chagrin. A distant relative of the Dashwoods, Mrs Jennings, visits and offers them a Devonshire cottage owned by her son-in-law, Sir John Middleton, for reduced rent, which Mrs Dashwood accepts. Elinor hopes Edward will propose, but he only promises to visit soon.

In Devonshire, Marianne is interested by Mrs. Jennings’s stories about her family friend Colonel Brandon, but upon dining at the Middletons’ finds him displeasing. Brandon, meanwhile, develops feelings for Marianne. Elinor is left confused and saddened when the only letter she receives from Edward informs her that he will not be visiting. One day, while Marianne and Margaret are playing in the sea, Marianne sprains her ankle and is rescued by the passer-by John Willoughby, to whom she is instantly attracted. The pair court, but on the day the family expects him to propose, he instead abruptly informs her he must travel to London and will not be returning.

Mrs. Jennings invites the eldest Dashwood sisters to travel with her, Lady Middleton, and her cousin Lucy Steele to London, where Edward will visit them. In London, Lucy, aware of Elinor and Edward’s acquaintance, spitefully confides in Elinor that she and Edward have been secretly engaged for many years, and she hopes to marry him soon. Edward admits this is true, revealing that his parents betrothed them for her wealth, and he honorably refused to break it off after she lost her fortune. After meeting Elinor, Edward hoped Lucy would also wish to end their betrothal, but she refused. Despite her heartbreak, Elinor accepts this outcome and agrees to keep their secret.

Willoughby does not visit the Dashwoods in London or reply to Marianne’s letters, so she instead hopes to see him at a ball. However, he unexpectedly arrives with his betrothed, Miss Grey, and treats Marianne coldly. Marianne publicly humiliates herself in her anguish but admits to Elinor that she and Willoughby were never actually engaged. She argues that, unlike Elinor, she cannot remain silently resigned to her situation. A letter from Colonel Brandon reveals that Willoughby seduced, impregnated, and then abandoned his sister-in-law Eliza, who later died alongside her unborn child.

The Ferrars family learns of Edward and Lucy’s engagement, leading to his disinheritance and making his younger brother Robert heir instead. Impressed by Edward’s moral fortitude, Colonel Brandon offers him the nearby parsonage, thus allowing him and Lucy to marry. In what is to be their final conversation, Elinor encourages Edward to do the honorable deed of marrying Lucy.

VERITY

Verity is a 2018 psychological romantic thriller novel by American author Colleen Hoover. The narrative follows Lowen Ashleigh, a writer who is hired to complete a bestselling book series after an accident leaves its original author, Verity Crawford, unable to do so. While staying at the Crawford family home, Lowen discovers an unfinished manuscript that reveals unsettling details about Verity’s past.

It was originally self-published on December 7, 2018, and later republished by Grand Central Publishing (an imprint of Hachette Book Group) in 2021 following a surge in popularity.[1] The book represents a departure from Hoover’s earlier works, which are primarily contemporary romance.[2] Hoover incorporates suspense and psychological tension, with themes including obsession, deception, and the shifting boundaries between truth and fiction.

The novel received generally positive reviews and was nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award for Best Romance in 2019 and won the British Book Award for Pageturner in 2023 and the Lovelybooks Leserpreis for Romance in 2020.[3][4][5]

Plot

Struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh is still processing the death of her mother, which left her emotionally isolated and responsible for her own financial survival. Eager for any opportunity to advance her career, she meets with a famous publisher. On her way there, Lowen witnesses a traffic crash, which splatters blood onto her clothes. A pedestrian helps a distraught Lowen calm down and gives her his shirt so that she will not have to wear her blood-stained clothes to the meeting. When she arrives, the man who helped her is present. She learns that he is Jeremy Crawford, the husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford. Verity has fallen comatose in the wake of a car crash and is consequently unable to finish her bestselling book series, which Jeremy enlists Lowen to ghostwrite. Lowen agrees and travels to the Crawfords’ home to review Verity’s notes.

Lowen arrives at the remote lake house, where an unconscious Verity resides in the couple’s bed. Lowen learns that the couple’s daughter Chastin passed away from anaphylactic shock months earlier. Shortly thereafter, while Verity was on a boat ride with Chastin’s twin sister Harper and the couple’s youngest son Crew, the boat capsized, resulting in Harper drowning while Verity was focused on saving Crew. Unable to cope with losing both of her daughters, Verity attempted suicide by driving her car into a tree, leading to her current condition.

Lowen finds an unpublished autobiography manuscript titled “So Be It,” detailing Verity’s obsessive love for Jeremy and resentment toward Chastin and Harper, whom she viewed as competition for his affection. The manuscript also contains Verity’s admissions of having tried to terminate her pregnancy with the twins and attempting to murder them multiple times in their infancy, and the proclamation that she blames Harper for Chastin’s death, which ultimately led her to intentionally capsize the boat to cause Harper’s drowning. The manuscript ends with Verity stating her intention to kill herself by driving her car into a tree to escape legal consequences for her actions.

Disturbed and overwhelmed by these revelations, Lowen begins to suspect Verity of faking her condition, especially when she repeatedly hears suspicious noises from Verity’s room. Meanwhile, Lowen also develops an attraction to Jeremy and eventually begins a romantic affair with him. Lowen sets up a security camera in Verity’s room and witnesses Verity moving her leg slightly. After much thought, Lowen tells Jeremy what she found.

Characters

Lowen Ashleigh

Lowen is the novel’s protagonist, a struggling writer with financial insecurity and little confidence in her career. After her mother’s death, she feels isolated and vulnerable. Her life takes a turn when she is offered the chance to ghostwrite Verity Crawford’s bestselling series. As she stays longer in the Crawford home, Lowen becomes emotionally entangled with Jeremy and is drawn deeper into the family’s dark secrets.

Verity Crawford

Verity is a famous author who, after a near-fatal car accident, is left seemingly bedridden and unresponsive. Before this, she shared a seemingly perfect life with her husband, Jeremy, and their three children, Chastin, Harper, and Crew. Her hidden manuscript, So Be It, reveals violent urges toward her children and an obsessive love for Jeremy, though a handwritten letter to Jeremy insists that the manuscript was merely a writing exercise, leaving her true nature and intentions ambiguous.

Jeremy Crawford

Jeremy is Verity’s husband. With both of his daughters deceased and his wife incapacitated, he struggles to keep his family together while protecting his surviving son, Crew. He eventually develops an attraction to and begins a tryst with Lowen.

Crew Crawford

Crew is Verity and Jeremy’s five-year-old son and their only surviving child following the deaths of his elder sisters.

Chastin and Harper Crawford

Chastin and Harper are Jeremy and Verity’s late eight-year-old twin daughters. Months prior to the events of the novel, Chastin died at a slumber party due to complications from a severe peanut allergy, and Harper accidentally drowned during a boat ride with Crew and Verity shortly after. Verity’s unpublished manuscript, “So Be It,” details a deep hatred for the girls and reveals that their deaths were an indirect result of her abuse and neglect, but it is left unclear if this is true or not. Harper was autistic, having been diagnosed at the age of three.

Produced by DreamWorks Animation, the film features H.E.R., Liza Soberano, Dave Franco, Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Jo Koy, Ronny Chieng, and Lea Salonga. Set in the 1990s in the Philippines, the story follows two childhood friends, Jo and Raissa, who become trapped in the mystical world of Nakali—which gradually feeds on the memories of those within—and must escape before they forget each other.

DreamWorks Animation officially announced the film in April 2025, with Crawford and Mercado attached to write and direct. They drew inspiration from their friendship and Philippine mythology. Initial cast members were announced in October 2025, with further casting confirmed the following March.

Early “work-in-progress” screenings were held at the 2026 CinemaCon and at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Forgotten Island is scheduled to be released by Universal Pictures on September 25, 2026.

Plot

In the Philippines during the 1990s, Jo tells a story about the forgotten island of Nakali and the Dreaded Manananggal at school. When a classmate makes fun of her story, she attacks him and gets in trouble. At the principal’s office, she meets Raissa, who also got in trouble for defending Jo. The two decide to become best friends and make a bracelet to share their memories, as Raissa has a sleepover with Jo and her grandma/Lola, Fatima, who tells them stories about her travels to Nakali. The bracelets fill up with charms, while Lola dies some time later.

Years later, Raissa tells Jo she is going to Caltech instead of a local college, lying that it was her parents’ idea. Jo takes this in sadness but doesn’t show it. At her farewell party, Jo makes a scene to save Raissa from being embarrassed, overhearing a conversation between Raissa and her mother, who disapproves of Jo and forces her to stay home. When she leaves, Jo and Raissa sneak out for one last night together in their jeepney, which they crashed when they were younger. After a quick argument about adding another charm, Jo finds a magical sand dollar that turns out to be the portal to Nakali they were looking for. The two decide to jump in.

The following day, they wake up with no memory of the previous night, with Raissa having wings on her back. They tie up a were-aspin named Raww, who can’t control when he transforms, before they are attacked by the Manananggal named Manang, whose wings they belong to. They evade her with the help of Batiba, a batibat, who tells them that, in exchange for their bracelets, she can send them back home. Not wanting to give up their memories, the two ditch Batiba, with Raww acting as their tour guide. At a market, they run into Bungi, a Tiyanak, who tells them the “Jewel of the Sea” they’re searching for was stolen by a Duwende king. Heading to the Duwende kingdom to retrieve it, they learn the Jewel was actually a Kataw named Mermahn, who tells them the sand dollar is in his kingdom. Feeling like no one listens to him, Raww crashes out, causing Raissa to call him a bad dog. He leaves, with Jo following, and they talk about feeling alone. At Raww’s suggestion, Jo secretly brings them to a Kapre village instead.

At the village, Jo and Raissa are told they were the best thing to ever happen to Nakali, and Raissa decides to steal Manang’s wings after she attacks the village. Grateful, they continue their quest to find the dollar, but Manang chases them. While Bungi is separated from the group, the others fall into a hole, and Mermahn reveals that he lied about the sand dollar being in his kingdom, while Raww reveals that not only does he work for Batiba, but she also feeds on memories of mortals lured to Nakali.

Voice cast

Additional cast members include Kevin McCann as Mermahn, Prince of the Kataw people; Amielynn Abellera and the film’s co-director, Januel Mercado, as Raissa’s parents; and Manny and Jane Molina and Nico Santos as Starfish Pasties. Sophia Laforteza of Katseye has a voice cameo in the film.[2]

PRIMETIME

Primetime is a 2026 American psychological thriller film[2][3][4][5] directed by Lance Oppenheim in his narrative feature film debut. Based on the 2007 Esquire article “Tonight on Dateline This Man Will Die,”[6] the film follows the production of the reality television series To Catch a Predator.[7][8] Robert Pattinson stars as series host Chris Hansen and also serves as a producer.[9] Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, and Phoebe Bridgers play supporting roles.

The film premiered in the main competition of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival on September 5, 2026, where it competed for the Golden Lion.[10] It will be released theatrically in the United States on September 25.[11][12] The film received positive reviews, with high praise for Pattinson’s performance and Oppenheim’s direction.[13]

Premise

In 2006, To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen sets out to make television history.[1]

Cast

Robert Pattinson (left; pictured in 2025) plays Chris Hansen (right; pictured in 2021)
  • Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen, a television journalist for NBC and host of To Catch a Predator.[14] Pattinson initially joined Primetime only as a producer before agreeing to star in the film’s lead role while prepping the film, filming Die My Love and The Drama, and preparing for a role in Christopher Nolan‘s The Odyssey.[15][16] Pattinson said he first became familiar with To Catch a Predator while staying in the United States to star in the Twilight films.[15] He called imitating Hansen’s voice “incredibly difficult” and said he studied his appearances on podcasts, recounting how he would “wander around the streets saying what he’s talking about” and confuse bystanders because of the dark nature of Hansen’s work.[16] Oppenheim has called Pattinson’s Hansen in Primetime “a cross between Jerry Maguire and Dracula.”[17]
  • Merritt Wever as Andie Bender, Hansen’s producer at Dateline NBC,[15] who prioritizes the show’s ratings above all else
  • Skyler Gisondo as Dan Plumb, a young aspiring actor hired for the show’s sting operations.[18] Gisondo’s role is based on Dan Schrack, the decoy for the botched sting operation involving Conradt.[15][19] Gisondo compared being starstruck by acting alongside Pattinson to Dan’s admiration of Hansen, saying his “personal nervousness bled into it.”[15]
  • Phoebe Bridgers as Del Harvey,[20] a young decoy who plays both boys and girls on the show.[15] Bridgers knew Oppenheim before production of Primetime; he sought her out because he believed someone “who had such a deep speaking voice [that] could produce this beautiful, angelic singing voice” was perfect for the decoy role.[15]
  • Matthew Maher as Xavier Von Erck, an online vigilante and the founder of Perverted-Justice[20]
  • Bokeem Woodbine as Cortland Gunn, the Rockwall County chief of police[21]
  • Anna Faris as Mary Joan Hansen, Chris’s wife[18]
  • Jonathan Lipnicki as a child predator caught on the show who uses the screen name Crazyfrog73[22]
  • Tony Revolori as an ex-Marine child predator[23] caught on the show who uses the screen name MarriedAndLookingForFun31313[22]
  • Alex Winter as Bill Conradt, assistant district attorney of Rockwall County, Texas and the show’s latest target[24]
  • Eric Rahill[21]
  • Sean Bridgers[25]
  • Jeff Zucker as himself.[18] Zucker oversaw programming for NBCUniversal when To Catch a Predator aired and plays a “boorish version of himself” in Primetime who is “the driver of tasking Chris Hansen and his team to think of the show as a commercial object.”[15] Oppenheim was interested in casting Zucker, saying he “loved the idea, keeping with the project of making this a true fever dream, of having real people alongside actors” and was pleasantly surprised when Zucker agreed to take the part.[15]
  • Creed Bratton, as an admirer of Hansen’s, turned on by fantasies of violence[23]
  • Caroline Hebert as Krysten, Chris’s mistress[21]
  • Jessica Hecht as an opportunistic ABC executive looking to poach Andie[21]

David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, “While it feels a fraction overlong, Gibney’s film is a vibrant testament to the intellectual life of its subject.”[8]

NEW MOVIES: Aug 27 – Sept 2, 2026, “Coyote vs Acme,” “The Dog Stars,” “The Sun Never Sets,” “Nika and Madison”

COYOTE VS ACME

Coyote vs. Acme is a 2026 American live-action animated legal comedy film directed by Dave Green, written by Samy Burch from a story by James Gunn, Jeremy Slater, and Burch,[6] and starring Will Forte, Lana Condor, Tone Bell, Luis Guzmán, Martha Kelly, P.J. Byrne, Kenneth Choi, and John Cena, with Eric Bauza leading the voice cast. The film is based on the 1990 The New Yorker magazine article “Coyote v. Acme” by Ian Frazier (which itself uses elements from the Looney Tunes franchise) and follows Wile E. Coyote as he enlists a billboard attorney to sue the Acme Corporation for repeatedly selling him allegedly faulty products.

Development began in August 2018 with Chris McKay as producer and Jon and Josh Silberman writing the screenplay. Green was hired to direct in December 2019, and Burch, Slater, and Gunn joined the following year. Cena, Forte, and Condor were cast in early 2022. Live-action filming took place in New Mexico from March to May 2022. Warner Animation Group, Keylight Pictures, and Gunn’s production company, Troll Court Entertainment, produced the film.

Warner Bros. Discovery initially shelved Coyote vs. Acme in November 2023 to obtain a tax write-off, but later reversed its decision and allowed the filmmakers to seek other distributors following public backlash. After several unsuccessful negotiations with various distributors, Ketchup Entertainment acquired the rights for $50 million in March 2025, after previously acquiring the North American distribution rights to Warner Bros. Animation‘s The Day the Earth Blew Up (2024).

Coyote vs. Acme screened at San Diego Comic-Con on July 25, 2026, and is scheduled for theatrical release in the United States on August 28, 2026. The film has received positive reviews.

Plot

In 1992, in a world where cartoon characters co-exist amongst humans, Acme Corporation scientist Dr. Peter Lorre leaks a message to an unknown contact before being captured and imprisoned inside an Acme portable hole.

In the present day, Wile E. Coyote, tired of unsuccessfully pursuing the Road Runner over the years, stumbles upon a television ad for Avery, Jones & Maltese, a personal injury law firm in Albuquerque specializing in cases of cartoon violence involving Acme products. Wile E. meets with senior partner Kevin Avery, who wants to sue Acme over the defective devices used to chase the Road Runner. While Kevin’s niece and intern Paige is eager to take Acme to court, Kevin prefers to settle to avoid a risky trial. However, Wile E. forces a trial in a meeting with Acme’s legal counsel Buddy Crane, a successful attorney and Kevin’s rival from Harvard.

The firm attempts to summon the Road Runner to testify, but he evades them. Meanwhile, Acme executive Foghorn Leghorn warns Buddy to prevent the trial revealing any corporate secrets. After a poor first trial session, Kevin receives a tip from an anonymous whistleblower to meet with Daffy Duck, a former Acme employee who conveys the warning Dr. Lorre sent him in 1992 about “Project Sisyphus.” Wile E. encourages Kevin to believe he can win the same way Wile E. believes he will catch the Road Runner. Though this inspires Kevin, he soon realizes Wile E.’s real motive for the trial was to capture the Road Runner on the stand. Paige meets with Dr. Lorre’s wife Granny, who explains Dr. Lorre did product development at Acme, along with their pet bird Tweety, who is now forced to serve as a mercenary for Acme.

The team discovers the whistleblower is Bugs Bunny, who reveals Project Sisyphus is a product testing program formerly headed by Dr. Lorre, using cartoon violence on subjects like Wile E. to improve Acme’s products for humans. When Dr. Lorre protested the ethics, they silenced him. On Bugs’ suggestion, Kevin tries to get Project Sisyphus on the record by questioning Acme’s head of PR, Tasmanian Devil, on the stand, but Acme’s legal team sabotages him, and the judge dismisses the case. However, Kevin reveals the conspiracy to the press, prompting the government to call a congressional hearing in Washington, D.C. Wile E. only agrees to join when Kevin claims the Road Runner will be there. The night before the hearing, Kevin admits the truth after being badgered about it and scolds Wile E. for his obsession with the Road Runner, prompting Wile E. to storm out. While wandering the streets, Wile E. narrowly evades Tweety’s attempt to eliminate him. Kevin tries to rescue him but gets knocked out and separated.

Kevin rejects Buddy’s last attempt to bribe him into quitting and gives an impassioned speech at the hearing, admiring Wile E.’s determination despite repeated failures. Wile E. arrives, having overheard, and reconciles with Kevin. Taking advantage of Foghorn’s pomposity, Kevin gets him to publicly admit to Project Sisyphus, but Foghorn argues that cartoons like Wile E. aren’t important enough for anyone to care if they are harmed. However, the Road Runner arrives and testifies to the harm Acme products have caused Wile E. over the years and further explains that, as Wile E.’s friend, he misses him and hopes he will come home soon, which moves Wile E. so much that he refrains from trying to capture him. Senator Elmer Fudd declines to pursue federal charges due to Wile E. being the sole plaintiff. However, with nothing to lose, Kevin, Paige, and Wile E. activate the Rube Goldberg-like trap Wile E. had set for the Road Runner, humiliating the Acme team and winning public favor.

On their return to Albuquerque, the firm is inundated with cartoons seeking to sue Acme for damages. Public support and further leaks from Bugs launch a federal investigation that exposes the full extent of Project Sisyphus, leads to the arrests of Foghorn and Buddy, frees Dr. Lorre, and reunites Granny and Tweety. Wile E. bids goodbye to Kevin and Paige, now a partner at the firm, before reuniting with the Road Runner. The pair immediately set off on another chase.

THE DOG STARS

The Dog Stars is a 2012 post-apocalyptic fiction novel by Peter Heller.[1]

In a post-apocalyptic world, a virus wipes out humanity. Survivors face roaming scavengers called Reapers. Protagonist Hig, a pilot, survived the flu but lost his wife.

Plot

Nine years after an influenza pandemic and a subsequent blood disease kill most of the human population, Hig lives at an abandoned airport in Erie, Colorado. He shares the settlement with his aging dog, Jasper, and Bangley, an armed survivalist. Hig continues to mourn his wife, Melissa, who died from the flu while pregnant.[2]

Hig and Bangley maintain a defensive perimeter around the airport. Hig patrols the surrounding area in the Beast, his vintage Cessna 182, while Bangley operates the settlement’s weapons and fortifications. Their relationship is uneasy: Bangley regards strangers as threats, whereas Hig remains reluctant to abandon compassion. Against Bangley’s advice, Hig regularly delivers supplies to a nearby community of Mennonites affected by the blood disease.

Three years before the novel’s main events, Hig heard a faint radio response from the airport at Grand Junction, Colorado. He does not investigate because Grand Junction lies beyond the aircraft’s point of no return, meaning he cannot reach it and return with the fuel he carries.

During a hunting and fishing trip in the mountains, Jasper dies peacefully in his sleep. Hig buries him and remains away from the airport longer than expected. On his journey home, nine armed men follow him. Bangley observes the pursuers from the airport and directs Hig into an ambush in which the attackers are killed.

Jasper’s death leaves Hig without his closest connection to his former life. He decides to investigate the transmission from Grand Junction despite the possibility that he will not be able to return.[3]

While flying west, Hig notices livestock, cultivated land, and a stone house in an isolated canyon. After coming under fire and landing nearby, he is captured by an elderly former Navy SEAL known as Pops. Pops’s daughter, Cima, persuades him to release Hig. Cima is a physician who survived the pandemic but lost her husband.

Hig remains in the canyon for several weeks and gradually earns their trust. He and Cima begin a romantic relationship. Because drought is threatening the canyon’s water supply, Pops and Cima agree to leave with Hig and relocate to the Erie airport.

The three travel to Grand Junction to obtain aviation fuel. A voice from the control tower instructs Hig to land, but he notices a cable stretched across the runway as a trap for approaching aircraft. He lands beyond the cable, after which the occupants of the tower fire at the group. Pops returns fire and kills them. The group refuels the aircraft and continues towards Erie.

On returning to Erie, Hig, Cima, and Pops discover that the airport has been attacked and partially destroyed. Bangley is initially missing but is eventually found alive and seriously wounded. He explains that fourteen attackers assaulted the compound and that he survived by using the settlement’s heavy weapons. Cima treats his injuries, and he recovers.

The four survivors establish a new community at the airport. Pops and Bangley become friends, while Cima begins providing medical care to nearby Mennonite families. Hig and Cima continue their relationship.

Hig later sees large jet aircraft flying overhead, but his attempts to contact them go unanswered. Their presence suggests that other survivors may exist, although their origin and the condition of wider civilization remain unknown.
