Full Plot Details

In the dystopian world of 2027 London, humans have been incapable of reproducing for 18 year for an unknown reason, meaning the imminent extinction of the species. Britain is the one remaining civilized society on the planet, which has resulted in people wanting to migrate there, so it has become a police state to handle the immigrants, who are placed into refugee camps. Lowly government bureaucrat Theo Faron, once an activist, is approached by the Fishes, deemed a terrorist group, led by his ex-wife Julian Taylor, whom he hasn't seen in almost 20 years, since their marriage disintegrated after their infant son Dylan's death during the 2008 flu pandemic. Although the Fishes did use terrorist means in their on-going revolution against the state in the fight for immigrant rights, Julian vows that they now garner support solely by speaking to the people, and she wants Theo to use his connections to get transit papers for a young immigrant woman named Kee who needs to get to the coast. Although initially reluctant to do it because of the difficulty, Theo is able to grant Julian this favor, however with the change that he now needs to accompany Kee on her journey. As Theo and Kee progress on that journey, Theo learns more and more about what's going on, including the reason that Kee needs to get to the coast, the fact that no one in the group knows if their end destination even exists, and that his and Kee's lives are in greater danger than he believed when they started the journey. But Theo's sole mission becomes to help Kee at any cost for the survival of the species.

Movie Reviews

Florida Times-Union - 10/10 by Matt SoergelChildren of Men is so boldly told, so thought out, so infused with the joy of filmmaking, that it's absolutely exhilarating. It's one of the best movies of the past year.
The Film Yap - 10/10 by Nick RogersFor all its dystopian, violent fury, "Children of Men's" grace distinguishes itself the most - an all-encompassing embrace of humanity, community and perseverance and an optimistic ending that doesn't feel at all like a cheat.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThe performances are crucial, because all of these characters have so completely internalized their world that they make it palpable, and themselves utterly convincing.
Cinema Sight - 10/10 by Wesley LovellA thought-provoking glimpse into a desperate future where infertility has spawned violence. This compelling narrative redfines the post-apocalyptic genre.
Star-Democrat (Easton, MD) - 10/10 by Greg Maki... A work of science fiction that bears a disturbing resemblance to the facts of today.
PopMatters - 10/10 by Bill GibronCall it dystopian or future shocking, but Children of Men is nothing more than a sensational cinematic allegory as bona fide art.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeIt's simply must-see filmmaking all the way around -- as art, as entertainment, as social commentary.
PopMatters - 10/10 by Cynthia FuchsAs much as it is invigorating visually and moving emotionally, the film does turn at last on this familiar device, the damaged white man in need of spiritual and ideological fixing.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle - 10/10 by Jack GarnerChildren of Men has been brilliantly adapted from a sci-fi novel by P.D. James and offers echoes of other literate, futuristic satires.
Detroit Free Press - 10/10 by Terry LawsonFasten your seat belt; you're in for a bumpy, provocative ride.
