10 Sci-Fi Movies Where Everyone Dies

10. Sunshine (2007)

Long before Peaky Blinders made Cillian Murphy a true household name, Danny Boyle's Sunshine took him far from anyone's orbit in an attempt to reignite the dying Sun and save the galaxy - kind of like Interstellar, but much, much darker.

Aboard the Icarus II, international astronaut Capa (Murphy) and his crew (an ensemble cast featuring Rose Byrne, Michelle Yeoh, Benedict Wong, and a pre-Cap Chris Evans), travel sunward. On their way they encounter a series of unexpected challenges, not least of which is a sort of sun madness, causing Searle (Cliff Curtis) to expose himself to the Sun's obliterating rays; and the surviving captain of the Icarus I, Pinbacker - an insane, religious Mark Strong - who wants nothing more than the worldly destruction of humanity.

In a film about driving a bomb into the sun, it's hard to see how anyone would have survived whether the mission was successful or not (though apparently the crew were meant to make it home in one piece...), and the entire cast inevitably bite it. Capa is the last man standing and, as time and reality enter a state of flux, he is able to reach out and give the sun a gentle ol' caress.

Bless.
