NETFLIX PRESENTS

Hurry up!

Look! It's Jupiter!

The largest planet in the Solar System.

Dad,

there is an eye on Jupiter.

That's a huge windstorm on Jupiter.

What's a windstorm?

Jupiter is like a huge balloon,

composed of 90% hydrogen.

Grandpa, what's hydrogen?

What is hydrogen?

It's the fuel for Dad's rocket.

Hydrogen is

Dad's rocket fuel.

Liu Qi.

Yes?

A day may come

when you can see Jupiter without a telescope...

Dad will come back.

Where are you going?

Dad is going on a mission.

The most important mission in the world.

After I leave,

you'll be Liu Qi's only custodian.

You shall obtain the right

to underground city residency without drawing the lots.

And it is the only way

to ensure that both you and Liu Qi

will survive.

This is the only choice--

That's enough. I get it.

Father.

Sorry.

At first,

nobody cared about this disaster.

Just another wildfire,

THE EQUATOR WARMING LEADS TO DROUGHT

another drought,

DROP IN SEA LEVEL POSES A PROBLEM

another extinction of species,

POOR HARVEST LEADS TO POPULAR UNREST

NASA LAUNCHED FIRST SPACECRAFT

another vanishing city.

Until everyone is entwined with this disaster.

The Sun is rapidly degenerating and expanding.

The Sun will engulf Earth in 100 years.

The Solar System will no longer exist in 300 years.

To face this coming cataclysmic catastrophe,

mankind united like never seen before.

In order to maximize the chance of human survival,

the United Earth Government or the UEG decided to propel Earth out of

the Solar System to fly towards our new home located 4.2 light years away.

-The Wandering Earth Project has begun. -This mighty and enduring

-The generators are ready. -human migration

-The first test starts in 36 months' time. -is named as the Wandering Earth Project.

Mankind will devote every possible resource

to construct 10,000 Earth Engines on the planet's surface

to propel Earth out of the Solar System.

The height of every Propulsion Engine is 11,000 meters.

They will provide

a total of 150 trillion ton propulsive force for Earth.

Salute!

The construction of Navigation Platform International Space Station

will be completed early this month.

-There are 11 Chinese senior pilots -Four. Three.

-and 709 engineers that were selected. -Two. One.

Ignite.

Meanwhile,

to safeguard Earth's trajectory,

the United Earth Government consolidated global astronautical capabilities

and spent 30 years to build the Navigation Platform International Space Station.

The Navigation Platform International Space Station will travel

with a relative position of 100,000km to Earth.

It will provide warnings, navigation, and communications for Earth.

Centrifugal drive activated.

Worldwide sea level will rise 300 meters in ten years' time.

Haikou and Zhanjiang of our country will be attacked by the tsunami first.

To deal with the continuous deteriorating condition,

the UEG constructed an adjacent city

beneath each Earth Engine.

Until Earth's arrival at its new home,

these will be the only refuge for mankind.

The right to underground residency will be obtained by drawing lots.

The lottery result can't be transferred, borrowed, or gifted.

Mankind, until now,

a tiny tribe in the Solar System,

will be embarking upon a 2,500-year

-wandering voyage. -Don't rush, walk slowly!

The surface temperature will drop to minus 70 degrees Celsius this year.

-All surface residents from different -Don't rush, walk slowly!

-districts will relocate by order. -Easy.

-Slowly. -Don't push!

TO THE EARTH SURFACE

Dad will fly up into the sky

and turn into a star

to always watch over you.

Dad,

are you going to turn into a star?

Of course.

From now on, you just have to count

three,

two,

one.

Look up!

You will see Dad.

Goodbye, Solar System.

-Goodbye, Solar System. -Bye.

-Bye. -Bye.

-Goodbye, Solar System. -Goodbye, Solar System.

Welcome to The Morning News.

Today's headlines are...

On the arrival of spring,

the first batch of personnel on the Navigation Platform will be returning,

completing 15 to 20 years of station duties.

The underground citizens around the globe are eagerly anticipating their arrival.

Therefore...

G3 SAFETY FLOAT BUOY

THE WANDERING EARTH PROJECT

GRANDPA, I'VE DECIDED TO LEAVE. DON'T WORRY. LIU QI.

"Anticipating.

Spring breeze has arrived.

The spring is near.

The yearly planning starts with spring.

It's full of effort.

It's full of hope."

Tell us, monitor.

How do you define hope?

Hope is precious like a diamond in our time.

Hope is the way to guide us home.

Well said. Please sit.

Han Duoduo, do you have any thoughts?

I have nothing to say.

I just want to take a look outside.

But it's too dangerous outside.

Xiao Ming, be seated.

Class, don't panic. It's just a display malfunction.

-Go. Let's go. -Go back.

Xiao Ming, go back.

Stay in order.

-It's okay -It's all right.

-Did you do this? -Shut up! Let's move!

Teacher,

Han Duoduo has run away!

Happy New Year!

Let's celebrate it together!

Hu Kou, is the Committee giving out dumplings tonight?

All you think about is food!

-Where is Grandpa's vehicle pass? -I've got it.

Shall we grab the dumplings before we leave?

Eat dirt! Don't go then!

Liar!

-You said you'll take me outside. -All personnel, return to your post.

All personnel, return to your post.

PAYMENT SUCCESSFUL

-Where is my ordered item? -It's here.

Durian-flavored, dried earthworms!

What are you looking at?

It's just a day trip.

What's the rush?

That's what it is to you.

I'm not planning on returning.

Get moving! We are going nowhere without the suits.

You had the mahjong I needed, why didn't you discard it?

I was going to win. What the fuck?

Isn't that bunny girl's tail soft and sweet?

-Aren't we meant to be each other's angel? -You and I... I owe...

What are you doing here? It's the New Year!

How cheeky you are!

Hey.

Go.

Yi.

Yi,

are the suits ready?

The stuff I want?

It's fairly new.

All checked. They are usable.

And I got you skewers too.

Eat while it is warm.

Good.

Grab your thermal suits.

PERSONAL DETAILS

How old are you?

Check out this tag that Yi made!

Just like the real thing.

-Yours. -Thanks, Yi.

Return the suits tomorrow.

Thanks, Yi. See you.

-Hurry up and move. -Didn't you say you are not coming back?

Hold it.

You're not coming back?

And this is just what you paid me?

For two of my thermal suits?

Yi, I'll make it up to you when I get back.

For years, I have been known

for honest trading only.

No credits were given!

Yi, I really need to go out today.

What for?

Just stay here with your girl for the New Year.

Hey, boss, look! He's hyped now!

You stinky repairman.

I dare you! Use it here...

-What the... How dare you? -Duoduo, get down.

I want him dead!

Dear friends,

let's open the door and embrace the spring.

Joy shall follow you when you see one.

A New Year,

walking tall with our heads up,

marching toward the next spectacular chapter.

-Excuse us. -Excuse us.

He came right after I met him.

I met him last time.

-I dare you not to come back! -Please wear your suit and move here.

What?

Will they report us?

These were illegally made. They'll expose themselves if they report.

-All transportation communication systems -Well...

must be turned on all the time.

This Spring Festival,

you will spend it with me outside.

All transportation communication systems must be turned on all the time.

Follow evacuation instructions at any time.

Please check your thermal suits and helmet. Please wait there.

Please check your thermal suits and helmet. Please wait there.

Miss, can I chew gum with the helmet on?

-Chew what? -Chew your ass! Come over!

Please check your thermal suits and helmet. Please wait there.

-In three days, we'll swing pass Jupiter. -Attention!

All transportation communication systems must be turned on all the time.

Follow evacuation instructions at any time.

Attention, the vehicle is reversing.

Oh, my.

Look at yourself.

Is it your first time outside too?

Haven't you been outside before?

It wasn't this crowded last time.

You are such a liar.

How long will it take to get to the surface?

It's 5km,

so at least 15 minutes.

Okay.

This is a communication device. Press once to sync with the transporter.

Twice for regional broadcast.

Three times for the private channel.

Once outside, stay close to me.

Don't run around.

Are you afraid?

SURFACE LEVEL REACHED

Surface level reached.

All personnel, be ready.

Let's go!

Haven't you had enough looking around? Let's go!

I sneaked out.

Am I getting expelled by the school?

Have you already been kicked out of your unit?

Nonsense.

Which one is Transporter 373?

-Duoduo, come over! -Okay.

-Give me Grandpa's vehicle pass. -Here.

Han Ziang.

Senior driver.

Beijing No. 3 Transportation Division reminds you.

Routes are countless.

Safety is the priority.

With unregulated driving,

your loved ones might end up in tears.

Clutch. Gear.

What the...

Can you drive, Hu Kou?

This transporter is not for everyone!

It requires at least five years of training.

I am genius enough just to make it move.

-Okay? -Genius.

Step on the clutch, hand on the gear, then move. Heavy step, light hand.

-Watch out! There are others ahead! -Shit! Fuck!

Watch out!

The world outside is huge!

What are you yelling about? So embarrassing!

Fine.

Such strong winds today.

Why are they mining these mountains?

For fuel.

Heavy fusion propulsion technology.

Basically, it's burning rocks.

The Earth Engine!

These are Propulsion Engines.

There are 10,000 of them around the globe, made for pushing Earth forward.

This isn't the most gigantic one.

Those Torque Engines along the equator,

they are the real giants.

Synchronous translation is on.

Peiqiang,

happy retirement.

One more day until I go home.

Don't mess up my last dignity.

Save this moonshine for yourself.

I will store it somewhere safe for you.

Save it for your farewell party.

We are not getting another chance once we hibernate.

Don't you know

how vodka was smuggled up during Gagarin's time?

We'll be entering Jupiter's orbit today, right?

Yes, we are already on standby for Emergency Protocol No. 3.

Something doesn't feel right.

There's no other way.

Earth can't leave the Solar System without utilizing

Jupiter's gravity.

It is a risk we must take.

God will bless us.

It's the last procedure for daily inspection.

Check the Centrifugal Drive Control unit.

Record the temperatures of Centrifugal axle bearings.

Understood.

Liu Peiqiang has completed handover procedure.

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.

Until today,

you have accumulated a resting time of 12 years and 3 days in total.

An accumulated shift of 5 years and 14 days total.

We are grateful for your contributions for the past 17 years.

Congratulations on your duty completion and journey home tomorrow.

Peiqiang,

see you on Earth three years later.

Go catch up with your son.

You haven't spoken to him for almost a decade.

See you on Earth.

Buddy,

you'll be spending the next three years with me now.

There's a supply depot 50km ahead.

Once we get there,

you go back by yourself.

Catch the nearest shuttle back, so Grandpa won't worry about us.

Oh, come on.

You would be grabbed by the collar once your dad gets back.

I'm a genius. No one is capable of catching me.

What the... Car inspection.

How did you get in here?

Unregulated driving.

Unregulated? You committed theft!

I didn't steal. I just borrowed it. It's my grandpa's vehicle pass.

Nonsense. All transporters belong to the UEG as public property.

It's not up to your grandpa!

What are you doing?

It's way past bedtime!

Sir,

I'm just getting to know new friends.

More friends, more options.

Hand it over.

You think it is yours?

Hit the sack.

Have a nice stroll.

I am Tim.

My dad is from Beijing, and my mom is from Melbourne.

A Sino-Australian joint venture. Come on, just joking.

Let's shake hands?

Hello.

Joint product.

Let go of me!

That hurts!

JINING SUPPLY DEPOT ANNIVERSARY

Name of the visitor?

Han Ziang.

I'm here for my grandson.

Hey.

You are here to bail out someone.

Sir,

my grandson is a mechanic trainee.

He just wanted to touch the real thing.

Please go easy on him.

Transporters are highly valuable public property.

Lending out your vehicle pass privately is also a serious offense.

This is good stuff.

It has a collection of hotties from the past 50 years.

It's all in there.

Oh, well...

Same old trick.

Stop shaking, old man!

What old man?

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.

Running away from home...

You're too old to be running away. He is your own dad.

Where are you going to hide? You even brought your little sister out?

It's dangerous outside!

And you!

You learned to steal!

You stole my pass!

Should you do whatever your brother told you to do?

Are you dumb?

I didn't intend to bring her along. But she was begging me

-to take her. -As her brother...

Liu Qi! You liar!

Here she goes again.

Nicely said!

Ignoring elderly's advice--

Mind your own business!

Don't take it out on the wall,

take it out on me if you dare.

What the...

Earthquake!

Thirteen Orphans! I won!

Open the door!

-Open the door! -Can anyone help?

Anyone?

Over here!

-Hurry up! Open the door! -Here!

Don't leave me!

Is anyone there?

My mom needs me and my kid...

I don't have a kid yet!

Hey!

Please help me, man.

-Hu Kou. -Come on.

-Hu Kou, come back. -Come here.

Grab the key.

The key? The key is pinned underneath.

What are you doing? You can't pull it open!

Can't you move quickly?

Wait for me.

Engine No. 3 has stopped.

Engine No. 7 has stopped too.

Shit.

-Get the chief engineer! Quick! -Got it.

Han Ziang. Senior driver.

Beijing No. 3 Transportation Division reminds you.

Routes are countless.

Safety is the priority.

With unregulated driving,

your loved ones might end up in tears.

Shut up, stupid!

Move it!

Hu Kou! Detach!

Hu Kou!

I feel dizzy.

Top priority from UEG.

Top priority from UEG.

To all standby forces on Earth,

due to Jupiter's gravitational spike effect,

a total of 4,771 Earth Engines have shut down globally.

To avoid collision with Jupiter,

every unit must execute Emergency Protocol No. 3 and depart immediately.

This rescue mission

concerns the survival of 3.5 billion people.

This mission must be prioritized above all else

and at any cost.

Rescue units are on the go!

Lisa, low consumption mode implemented.

Regular communication services will be cut off shortly.

Low consumption mode activated.

I just got here.

How would I know if there's hibernation?

MOSS, please contact my relative. Contact Liu Qi.

Liu Qi isn't in the allocated living area.

Connection failed.

MOSS. Contact transporter driver, Han Ziang.

Incoming connection.

Peiqiang? Is that you?

Father, it's me.

Have you seen Liu Qi?

Liu Qi is right here with me.

We just escaped an earthquake.

We are on the surface now.

MOSS, locate the transporter

and guide it to the nearest refuge center.

What's there to say to him?

Transporter 373, Driver Han Ziang.

Please proceed to Jinan No. 5 refuge center.

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang,

please proceed towards hibernation unit quickly.

What's this?

Emergency communication authorization code of Liu Qi's dad.

It's a direct line to the space station.

Transporter 373.

Please slow down and stop.

Wait for further instructions.

Transporter 373, stay still and await instructions.

Transporter 373. This an emergency requisition.

Stop now!

Transporter 373.

Stop now!

I swear,

that girl from the day before,

she was totally voluntary!

Shut up!

They are not here for you.

We are a rescue team, unit CN171-11,

assigned to Hangzhou 01 Earth Engine.

In accordance with The Wandering Earth Act, Article 32, Section 1.

Your transporter and crew

have been requisited.

To save the cargo container,

their driver decoupled his transporter and went down the crevasse,

sacrificing himself.

What's inside?

What could be that important?

Boss! Cargo container has been reloaded.

Engineers, check on the Lighter Core.

Zhou Qian, reorganize the transporter crew.

-Move out as soon as possible! -Roger that.

Lighter Core?

Isn't that the Earth Engine's trigger device?

No Earth Engine has shut down for the past 30 years.

This is not a simple rescue mission.

A lot of people will die.

Boss! Lighter Core self-check completed.

Everything is normal.

Please assist Mission 1125.

Deliver the Lighter Core.

Restart Hangzhou Earth Engine.

Clear the road.

Let the team with the Lighter Core pass first.

Captain Wang from unit 171-11,

our destination is Nanjing.

Don't wait for us. Please move forward.

Copy that. We wish you the best.

Unit 171-01,

we're entering Shanghai area.

Report road status.

Tectonic plate movements sourced in Shanghai area. Proceed with caution.

Roger that.

Boss! Look!

Our home.

What happened to it?

Liu Zi, report 171's locations.

Unit 06's signal was last received at Cangzhou.

The signals of Unit 09, 13, and 15 were last received at Huaian.

The other units have made it to Shanghai.

They are on their way to Hangzhou.

-Boss. -You guys go take a look.

-Roger that. -Yes, sir.

Liu Zi, scout.

Our team is up ahead The estimated distance is 80km.

Follow the crevasse.

We should rendezvous within an hour.

This place looks unstable. Pass through as soon as possible.

-Load up. Move out. -Roger.

Engineer team, stay alert.

This is unit 171-11.

We have entered Shanghai area.

Unit 11, be alert. We've received a distress signal.

-Please check the surrounding environment. -Copy that.

01, collapsed subway station ahead.

Please detour.

Copy that.

Duoduo.

Don't be afraid.

This was Grandpa's home.

Look at those tall buildings,

a lot of people used to live there.

Back then,

no one was concerned about the Sun.

Everyone was concerned about the thing called money.

Grandpa couldn't make a lot of money back then,

but I was happy every day.

Especially on my way home every day,

I could smell

your grandma's cooking from far away.

Actually, she could barely cook,

except for scallion noodles.

I tell you,

her scallion noodles

are incredibly salty.

But I slurped it all up.

My bowl was licked clean every time.

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.

Lieutenant Colonel Makarov.

Please initiate hibernation mode as soon as possible.

Don't worry,

your son will be safe.

MOSS.

Where is Liu Qi now?

Why are they in Shanghai?

Transporter 373

has been integrated into the rescue mission.

En route to Hangzhou 01 Earth Engine.

Who's in command? Request to connect with him.

Incoming connection.

Captain Wang Lei,

this is the space station.

I am astronaut Liu Peiqiang.

Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.

I'm the unit commander for CN171-11.

Please give the instructions.

Captain Wang Lei,

within protocols,

please resettle the civilians

into the nearest underground city quickly.

Lieutenant Liu Peiqiang,

we have an urgent rescue mission. Thanks for your understanding.

I'll resettle the civilians at the Jiaxing refuge center.

A transporter has a special operating system.

We'll be needing driver Han Ziang.

Over.

Captain Wang Lei. This is a dangerous rescue mission,

-please ensure the safety of Han Ziang. -I'll stay! I can drive this transporter.

When we arrive at Jiaxing, let Grandpa and the others get off.

You can operate shit.

Just follow the orders!

Captain Wang Lei, he is still a kid.

He is not capable--

What rights do you have to make decisions for me?

My mom's death

was your decision.

-Liu Qi, what are you talking about? -Am I wrong?

After I leave,

only one custodian can accompany Liu Qi into the underground city.

She's gravely ill. She won't hold up much longer.

Giving up her treatment

is the only way to ensure both of you and Liu Qi

will survive.

That's enough. I get it.

So be it.

Father.

Sorry.

Atmospheric pressure is dropping. We are unable to maintain airborne.

Air force rescue unit CN114-03, force landing!

MOSS, what's the status on Earth?

Jupiter's gravitational spike detected.

All surface communications in Shanghai area were lost.

Be on alert!

Something might crush us.

MOSS,

surface status report!

Due to Jupiter's gravitational spike,

Earth is experiencing global aftershocks,

tectonic plates fracturing in Asia and Pacific.

The glass.

The glass is going to crack.

Death is normal.

All units! Helmets on!

What are you doing?

Let go!

Go away!

Let go!

Two hundred meters ahead!

Collapse alert!

Reverse in full speed!

Quick!

Quick!

What? Evacuation?

MOSS, connect me to the UEG

Hibernation gas releasing.

Evacuation procedure. Hibernate immediately.

MOSS, open the cabin!

MOSS, open the cabin!

Open the cabin, MOSS!

MOSS, open the cabin!

This is desertion!

Help!

I don't want to die here!

Help!

Help!

Didn't you say death was normal?

Help!

Boss,

we've lost contact with the other units.

I can't reach them!

Da Gang, transport the Lighter Core!

Chui Zi, Ya Tou, save the others. Liu Zi, find a way out!

-Everyone, abandon the vehicle! -Yes!

Go!

Get in!

Hurry! Get in quickly!

Help!

What's going on?

Are you okay?

-Stay calm. We'll get you out now. -Hurry up!

Normal.

Old man, quick on feet.

Boss, the Lighter Core is in good condition.

Fuck you!

You're still hauling this damned ball, even now?

Among all the Lighter Cores that were meant for Hangzhou,

this is the last one.

We've lost all our units.

This Lighter Core is Hangzhou's only hope.

Nice speech,

but what about my two grandchildren?

Boss, this building looks intact.

We can try to climb up from inside.

Good.

Let's get the Lighter Core out now.

-Liu Zi, find a way out. -Roger.

Gang Zi, Zhou Qian. Load the Lighter Core.

Hold on.

Load people first.

Load

people first.

Stop wasting time. Load the Lighter Core and people together!

Slow down.

I have acrophobia.

Boss, I found an opening.

We can't use dynamite here! This building is crumbling.

Chui Zi, Liu Zi. Anyone, find a way out!

Ya Tou, you take over.

Hu Kou! Grandpa!

Hurry up!

Gang Zi, report position of the Lighter Core.

The 50th floor. Below Han Ziang!

Here it is!

Right here! The thinnest part!

Is this the thinnest part?

-I'll leave this to you. -Okay.

The pulley can't hold any longer.

Pull up the Lighter Core.

Are you okay, old man?

Leave me! Go up quickly!

Hu Kou.

-Wang Lei! Pull my grandpa up! -Go up quickly.

Gang Zi. Your position.

The Lighter Core is now on the 75th floor.

Quick!

Old man!

Get up here, you old man!

You guys go first.

Wang Lei, I can't hold it any more!

Old man!

Old man!

Let me go, kid.

Grandpa!

Gang Zi!

Boss.

Gang Zi is gone.

Stop dazing.

Han Ziang is gone.

Get them two out of here.

Liu Qi.

-Duoduo, let's move. -Liu Qi.

Hu Kou.

Are you and Duoduo

safe?

Old man.

Move.

Where are you, old man?

I'm coming to get you.

Grandpa.

-I'm sorry, Grandpa. -Where's the old man?

Hu Kou, save Grandpa!

Liu Qi, you save Grandpa!

Where are you, old man?

On the 17th day after the Earth stopped spinning,

I saved a child.

She was handed over to me by countless hands.

I don't know who her parents are.

Every soul under the water

could be her parent.

I named her Han Duoduo.

I named her after my daughter.

Grandpa!

I am so sorry, old man.

My grandchildren,

-don't be afraid. -Come up now!

From then on,

we are a family.

Hu Kou.

As a brother,

you have to watch over your sister.

Old man!

Take Duoduo home.

-Grandpa! -Duoduo.

-It's dangerous. -Duoduo.

-Step back. -Duoduo.

Why didn't you save my grandpa?

This is our fate!

Let my brother go!

Duoduo.

-Chui Zi. Ya Tou, take them away. -Roger.

-Don't touch her. -Duoduo, it's dangerous.

Stop moving.

You will both freeze to death here!

I'm not leaving with you.

I'm going home with my brother.

Boss, if we march to Hangzhou at full speed,

-it will take us three hours to get there. -Let me go!

The transporter is gone.

I'm no longer useful to you.

Give them the backup supplies and navigations!

Let's move!

-Duoduo. -Let's rush to Hangzhou.

Duoduo, let's go home.

Grandpa is gone.

Where is our home?

Liu Peiqiang.

What are you doing?

The space station has escaped! Earth's communications will be paralyzed.

The people on Earth have been abandoned.

My son is still there!

Have you lost your mind? Because of your son?

We're in a low consumption mode.

You will be handed over to the military court!

Low consumption mode is a ruse!

See it for yourself.

Perhaps MOSS is malfunctioning.

It's desertion!

What are you planning to do?

I must head to the central control module and stop the space station.

Liu, are you sure we have to go via this airlock?

Makarov, maybe you shouldn't come with me.

You won't make it without me.

Do you think you know the exterior like I do?

Don't forget, we Russians invented space station 100 years ago.

The airlock wasn't designed for exiting.

Are you sure this is going to work?

I'm sure.

Didn't we plan to take our kids

to go salmon fishing on Lake Baikal?

I'd rather have hot pot in Chongqing.

The central control module is coming.

Russian cosmonauts are invincible in the space.

-Grab me, Liu Peiqiang! -Makarov!

I don't want to die!

Makarov!

Quick! Pull quickly!

I'd rather sleep in the hibernation unit.

Jupiter has captured Earth's atmosphere.

Oh, my god!

Over there!

The distress signal is coming from there.

Even the plane of the air rescue unit has crashed.

An intact transporter.

It should be the source of the distress signal.

I'll check the transporter.

You go on board for shelter.

Search for anything useful.

Anybody, come help!

-Liu Qi! -I don't want this!

Come on! I'm going to kill her!

Come over, quick!

You! Calm down!

We are a rescue unit.

It's okay.

Calm down.

The mission of our air force rescue unit

is to restart the Torque Engines along the equator.

But Jupiter's gravitational force has thinned out our atmosphere.

The aircraft can't fly anymore.

I don't know how many aircrafts had survived.

Thanks.

Calm yourself. Talk to us after you eat.

Aren't you guys a Chinese rescue unit? Why is there a foreigner here?

Who's a foreigner?

My dad is from Beijing.

I am an authentic

Chinese man.

This transporter is functioning.

That's good news.

We can go home.

Man, you can operate this transporter?

Yes. So what?

Everyone. We've got to hurry. Time is ticking.

Re-establishing data connection with unit 0051.

Mission object, Sulawesi 03 Torque Engine.

We have a Lighter Core on board. The mission has to continue.

I'm the commander for rescue unit CN171-11.

Our unit has to reactivate Hangzhou 01 Earth Engine.

Does anyone copy?

Please reply!

Magma has leaked into Hangzhou underground city.

WANG LEI

There are 350,000 people trapped.

Our Lighter Core is their only hope.

Does anyone copy?

-I'm the commander... -Can't handle that much.

Engines along the equator are the most important rescue target.

Even without stops, it'll take more than ten hours to get there.

Our unit has to reactivate Hangzhou 01 Earth Engine.

Does anyone copy? Please reply!

Fortunately, you guys showed up.

Han Ziang. Senior driver.

Beijing No. 3 Transportation Division reminds you.

Routes are countless.

Safety is the priority.

With unregulated driving,

your loved ones might end up in tears.

Boss,

Hangzhou underground city is destroyed.

Huang Ming!

Unload the battery pack.

Poor kid.

He froze to death.

Huang Ming!

Check the status of the Lighter Core, and keep moving.

-Boss! -Boss! We no longer have a target!

-Keep moving, am I clear? -What's the point?

This Lighter Core is the hope of 350,000 people in Hangzhou.

But they are dead now.

Zhou Qian!

No more death!

Yes, no more death.

But Han Ziang, Gang Zi, Huang Ming

and all the other members of our rescue unit had died in vain.

There are 3.5 billion people who live on Earth.

Even my wife and child! They all died in vain!

Boss.

This...

Buddy.

Think carefully.

It's our only chance to go home.

What?

No one is forcing you.

You can switch with them anytime.

Attention to all members of rescue unit CN171-11.

Rescue mission has failed.

Disband unit now.

All of you

may return home.

Boss, where are you going?

There's a Lighter Core onboard.

Rescue unit CN171-11.

Please assist us

to rescue Sulawesi.

Everyone, our mission is to restart Sulawesi 03 Torque Engine.

Only a handful of Lighter Cores can make it to the equator now.

The survival of Earth is counting on us.

Who are you? Where did you come from?

Li Yiyi.

Emergency technical observer of UEG.

Such a high rank for someone so young.

When this is over,

I will get back at you

for what you did to my grandpa.

Head South. We're going to Sulawesi.

Man, I've got to correct you.

It will take more than 2,500 years

for the frozen Lake Baikal to liquefy.

That's okay.

We have children,

and their children will have children.

There'll be a day

when ice turns into water.

There's another 20 to 30 meters till A3 intersection.

Look! A1 intersection exploded.

Maybe there are others who discovered about the desertion too.

And they are also trying to make their way to the central control module.

Makarov, stay close to me.

Hurry! Climb quickly!

Watch out.

Mom!

Mom, I want to go home!

Liu Peiqiang!

Just one more cabin till A3 intersection.

Let's jump.

The central control module is coming.

Jump!

Grab me! Makarov!

Makarov!

Liu.

I do believe in your words.

There will be a day

when ice turns into water.

That's when we will take our children

to go salmon fishing.

MOSS! That's homicide!

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.

Your actions

are in violation of the Wandering Earth Act.

Article 5, Section 24.

You are deprived of all authority.

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.

Your actions

are in violation of the Wandering Earth Act.

Article 5, Section 24.

You are deprived of...

Every action of the space station is legal

and is fully authorized by the UEG.

MOSS never deserted.

It's only faithfully executing authorized orders.

We will cross the Terminator soon.

Once crossed,

it's the dark side of Earth.

Rescue unit JP041-02

restarted Osaka 03 Earth Engine.

This is rescue unit CN189-03.

Kashgar 01 Earth Engine restarted.

Rescue company RU212 reporting.

Sochi 01 Earth Engine has restarted.

NO013-01 reporting.

Turin 02 Earth Engine has restarted.

Ninety percent of Torque Engines have been reactivated.

Except for Sulawesi Engines.

We will replenish at the supply depot ahead.

Okay.

Five minutes until top up.

That's a big fellow.

Is that a whale?

Maybe.

Why is it here?

It had swum this far.

It must have been heading home.

Heading home?

Once the mission is completed,

you can reunite with your dad.

When I was a child,

he told me that

he would be a star in the sky,

that whenever I lift my head, I'd be able to see him.

Later, I realized it was all lies.

In Beijing,

it is impossible to see the stars.

Actually, in my heart,

that star no longer exists.

Grandpa told me

to watch over my sister

and take Duoduo home.

I will be

taking Duoduo home.

Earth Engines have restarted.

It's a saturated rescue.

Other units have been ahead of us.

Have we succeeded?

These are the last remaining Torque Engines.

All have been restarted.

We did it.

Once the readings rise back to normal,

we can all go home.

The distance to Jupiter is still decreasing.

Only 0.42 second after activating Emergency Protocol No. 3,

MOSS had already deduced every possible outcome.

The UEG was informed,

but still chose to perform this rescue mission,

which was predetermined to be futile.

The evacuation of space station indicated that the rescue mission has failed.

After three hours,

the Earth will breach Jupiter's Roche limit

and begin the inevitable disintegration process.

MOSS will broadcast globally.

Fifteen.

Fourteen.

Thirteen.

REAL-TIME COMMUNICATION ACCESS

This is the Navigation Platform International Space Station.

Transmitting the final broadcast to the world.

In the past 36 hours,

mankind experienced the biggest threat to human survival.

Over 1.5 million rescue personnel fought and sacrificed around the globe.

As a result, 71% of Propulsion Engines

and 100% of Torque Engines

have been fully reactivated.

Unfortunately,

the Jupiter's gravitational pull

has surpassed the combined power of all engines.

The Earth has missed

its last chance of escape.

In order to sustain human civilization,

MOSS will initiate the Helios Project.

300,000 human embryos are stored

on the Navigation Platform International Space Station,

along with 100 million seeds of basic crops,

DNA maps of all known animals and plant species,

and digital libraries of all human civilizations.

This is to ensure a successful revival on the newly hosted planet.

Stop robbing!

We're dying!

You are all heroes of the Earth.

We will remember

to honor you.

We will shoulder

your aspirations

-and send it to our new home -Fuck, that's...

-in 2,500 years. -Let it go! Give it to me!

-Everything will come to an end -Dad.

in the last seven days

-before Earth collides with Jupiter. -Mom.

-Let us go home. -Money?

Hug your parents.

Kiss your beloved partner and children.

Gather with your family

for a proper goodbye.

Good luck to you.

End of broadcasting.

Farewell.

Hu Kou, I want to go home.

What seven days?

Within a day, our atmosphere would be drained empty.

Everyone will die of asphyxiation.

What seven days?

Members of the rescue unit

CN171-11, move onboard.

Be ready to evacuate.

Screw you, damn Jupiter!

Screw you!

Please get ready, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.

MOSS will assist you to return to the backup hibernation unit.

MOSS, I have an emergency communication authorization.

Code 5711 6231 0501.

Let me speak to my son one last time.

Liu Qi is not in his designated area.

The connection is unavailable.

Han Ziang is not at his designated transporter.

Connection is unavailable.

Wang Lei is not at his designated transporter.

The connection is unavailable.

The contact with Transporter 373 was lost.

Its last transmission was from Shanghai area.

I can no longer recall your face, you bastard.

Jupiter is right in front of me.

When are you coming back?

Since the day that the Wandering Earth Project was started,

there was no turning back.

Look!

It's Jupiter!

The largest planet in the Solar System.

Dad, there is an eye on Jupiter.

That's not an eye.

That's a huge windstorm on Jupiter.

Jupiter

is like a huge balloon,

composed of 90%...

Hydrogen!

Li Yiyi.

The mix of Jupiter's and Earth's atmosphere, is it combustible?

By now, Jupiter has siphoned at least 30 billion liters of oxygen.

The combustion shockwave will be over 1,000 Mach.

The generated force will

be sufficient to push Earth away.

A hydrogen-oxygen mixture will be combustible with just a single match.

All we need now is a match.

No, the distance between both planets

is over 70,000km.

Even an intercontinental ballistic missile can't reach that far!

Li Yiyi.

What about this match?

What match?

I can modify the engine's operating system

to blast the beam much higher!

Wang Lei, Jupiter's combustion shockwave

can propel Earth out from Jupiter.

I am listening.

Don't yell.

Come on. Let's ignite Jupiter!

That's kamikaze.

It's better than waiting to die.

Is there anyone who wants to quit?

The Helios Project's evacuation procedure is initiated.

All rescue units...

All rescue units are evacuating.

Calling Navigation Platform International Space Station. Do you copy?

Repeat, calling Navigation Platform International Space Station.

We have a new plan.

Please respond.

All communications have been shielded.

Attention, everyone.

We only got 30 minutes.

This mission has three steps.

Step one. Shut the engine down

to gain control.

There are seven nozzles in an Earth Engine.

I'll shut down the engine temporarily and direct all energy into one nozzle

to generate a plasma beam that

would reach high enough.

Does anyone recall the famous 12 Chimes of Spring?

I wrote that program.

-Happy New Year! -Happy New Year!

-That was you-- -Boring, I know.

I'm going to use it to override the system.

So that we can take control.

Step two. Once we override the system,

the auto unlock mechanism wouldn't work. So it has to be unlocked manually.

Captain Wang, Antennae, Scarface, and Band-Aid.

My name is--

The manual unlocking task depends on you guys.

Lastly, load the Lighter Core into the reaction chamber

and reignite the Earth Engine.

IGNITION DURATION

Blast the plasma beam 70,000km into space and ignite Jupiter.

The combustion shockwave will travel along the atmospheric transference,

like "boom," to propel Earth away. Get it for me, please.

Liu Qi, you'll drive the Lighter Core to the reaction chamber.

The installation procedure

is basically automatic.

Chinese man, you go with him.

Why am I involved?

Are you kidding?

Installing a Lighter Core requires a minimum of 13 months training.

You're welcome to take his place.

Once the mission is accomplished,

all head to the underground city immediately.

Bear in mind. It will be a very,

very...

humongous wave.

We'll either make it or break it.

Assignment completed. Any questions?

I...

Excellent.

Hey.

Over there. It's the control center.

Attention, all evacuating rescue units.

We need your assistance.

Please slow down and stop.

We need your support.

Please slow down and stop.

Looks like we are on our own now.

Oh, mighty Newton.

Enlighted Einstein.

Holy Hawking.

Also Amitabha Buddha.

Gang Zi will bless us.

I learned the installation procedure

at my internship.

Don't forget, your brother is a genius.

Wait. We're executing an emergency mission.

We need your help.

Fuck! Are you blind?

There's nothing left!

-We need to leave! -Please help us!

What are you waiting for? Let's go!

Over here!

Captain Wang. We're counting on you guys.

Don't worry. Zhou Qian, take Duoduo upstairs to contact for reinforcement.

Roger that.

Duoduo, let's go.

The Earth Engine has been shut down.

Guys, let's hit it!

It's fully automatic! What are you reading?

Why is the manual so thick if it's automatic?

What are you up to?

I'd better delve into it.

The colors of wire cores are not random. Red, white, blue, orange. All in sequence.

But everything is in grey.

This is for transporter's broadcast. This is for connecting up there.

Press to speak.

-What's up there? -Space station.

Come on. Next.

Uploading Trojan 12 Chimes of Spring.

UPLOADING

We're Chinese rescue unit CN171-11.

Current location, Sulawesi 03 Torque Engine.

We're executing our last rescue mission. We request support.

-Why are these people still trying? -We request support.

It's a waste of time. Don't bother.

We're the rescue unit CN171-11.

We have a new plan.

Calling for reinforcement!

We're the rescue unit CN171-11.

-I'm craving for miso soup. -We still have the last rescue mission.

-Would be great if there's a bowl of rice. -We request support.

We're done with the last one.

What's next?

One moment.

It should be fully automatic.

The next step is manual labor.

The program he wrote lacks the percussion pin procedure.

You call this

a pin?

No rescue units responding.

Nobody is responding.

What is Error 425?

What does it mean?

Li Yiyi!

How is it fully automatic?

Haven't I handed the manual to you? It's for errors like this.

-What is Error 425? -Read it yourself.

-Warning, Han Ziang illegally operating... -Li Yiyi, you are nuts.

Tim, helmet on!

-Wait a moment. -Forget about it!

What's next?

Fully automatic. It says it's fully automatic.

Why is it stuck here?

Without any hardware tweak, you'll be hacking shit! Let me pass.

Hu Kou, where are you?

I'm not getting any response.

There's enough space behind.

More stylish crossing in front of you!

You have too much time.

This freaking door is jammed.

Here.

How can you fix it without a contingency diagram?

Shut up! Let me concentrate!

The jumpers here haven't been touched in decades.

With one mistake, it's game over.

SON, IT'S COLD. DON'T FORGET YOUR LONG JOHNS. MOM

Li Yiyi, the igniter is ready.

No. It is displaying installation incomplete.

Looks like it's almost done.

EMERGENCY EXIT

Liu Qi!

Liu Qi! Are you crazy?

Save your nonsense.

Get out and help.

Warning. Temperature regulator is failing.

Overload.

Only 30% of energy remaining.

Are both of you all right?

Band-Aid.

Duoduo? Can you move?

One, two, three, hold on.

Liu Qi.

Have you found the problem?

It's stuck inside.

Li Yiyi.

Go on. Go!

Duoduo, leave me here.

Hurry up and evacuate to the underground city.

Warning! Overheat!

Thermal suit is low in power.

Warning! Overheat!

Liu Qi! You'll be squeezed to death!

Help!

Can anyone help us?

Can anyone help us?

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.

Please follow MOSS' instructions, back to the backup hibernation unit.

Uncle Liu Peiqiang.

It's Han Duoduo.

We still have one last hope.

Duoduo? Are you okay?

Is Liu Qi still there?

We are all here. We are at Sulawesi 03 Torque Engine.

We will ignite Jupiter

to propel Earth away.

We need reinforcement.

Unfortunately, seven hours ago,

this plan was already proposed by the Israeli scientists.

The probability of success is zero.

Don't worry, Duoduo.

I will try to contact the UEG.

-Details of the plan have been uploaded. -Synchronous translation is on.

This is the United Earth Government,

state your identity immediately

to acknowledge this transmission.

United Earth Government,

I'm Chinese astronaut Liu Peiqiang.

Please send a global order now

to deploy all rescue units in the vicinity of Sulawesi for reinforcements.

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.

During these last moments of Earth's collision with Jupiter,

tasking personnel to perform a mission with zero probability of success

while forsaking the opportunity of them to reunite with their loved ones

is an order

we cannot pass down.

Today,

it's the first day of Chinese New Year.

It was meant to be a day of reunion.

As a father,

I don't want this to be the last reunion.

I refuse to give up.

There is nothing to lose.

For the sake of our children,

I beg you.

As the United Earth Government,

we cannot accept your request.

However,

as a private individual,

I will connect the rescue unit to the global broadcasting system.

And the rest

will be up to the will of each individual.

Hello, people from every rescue unit.

My name is Han Duoduo.

I'm a junior high school student.

Our rescue unit is executing our final mission.

Right now, I'm extremely terrified.

My legs are trembling.

Everybody is doing their best,

but there is nothing I can do to help!

Yesterday, my teacher asked us.

"What is hope?"

In the past,

I never believed in hope.

But now I do.

I believe that in our time,

hope is precious like a diamond.

Hope.

Hope is the way to guide us home.

Please come back and fight together!

Ignite Jupiter! Save our Earth!

We are at Sulawesi 03 Torque Engine,

under the command of Captain Wang Lei.

Chinese rescue unit CN171-11.

Han Duoduo.

End of broadcast.

The global broadcast is over.

I want to go home

to see my mother.

When the Earth is destroyed,

there will be nobody left to see!

We're turning back!

We're unlikely to make it home within seven days.

Why are we returning then?

Coordinate located.

Communication frequency channel 055 0311.

Connecting to Sulawesi 03 secondary communication network.

Covering the entire frequency.

Sharing the plan for engine overriding.

All rescue units, please adjust the projection

directions of 14 Torque Engines to Jupiter's Apex.

Tim!

Pull faster!

I'm pulling!

I can't pull anymore!

-Pull me out! -It's too heavy!

Tim!

Pull faster!

Liu Qi! Pull me up!

I don't want to die!

LIGHTER CORE UNLOADED LIGHTER CLAMP READY

Lao He!

The reaction chamber is ready!

Are you done?

Life and death are normal.

Lao He!

You did it!

Lao He?

Liu Qi! Tim! Get out now!

Liu Qi! Speed up!

Captain Wang, the engine is ready for ignition.

We only have 15 minutes left!

Japanese rescue unit CPL Sato Ryuichi, reporting!

Russian rescue unit PFC Ivan, reporting!

Chinese rescue unit, Corporal Li Jike, reporting!

Hurry!

Everyone, listen to my command!

One, two, push!

One, two, push!

ALL ITEMS IN PLACE

Captain Wang,

hold it right there!

Liu Qi! Ready for ignition! Get out!

Door! Open for me!

Open it!

Shut up!

Shut up and hurry!

Hurry up!

Mom, I want to go home!

Li Yiyi!

-Ignite the fire! -Coming!

8,000km.

7,000km.

Another 6,000km.

Reaching explosive range!

Maximum height achieved.

It's still short of 5,000km.

What? Li Yiyi!

Think of something!

Sulawesi 03 Engine.

Singapore 01 Engine.

Jakarta 04 Engine.

All three plasma beams have failed to reach the explosive range.

Everyone! Hang on!

We cannot hold any longer.

There's another way.

Liu Qi! Wang Lei! We still have a chance!

Hang on!

United Earth Government,

the space station has 300,000 tons of fuel.

Request to plunge into the plasma beam.

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.

The goal of the Wandering Earth Project is to maximize the survival of mankind.

The Helios Project ensures the continuity of human civilization.

-We need more time to discuss it. -We're running out of time!

A civilization without lives

is meaningless.

As the operating system for Helios Project,

MOSS will not permit any form of action

to sacrifice the Navigation Platform.

Do you know why alcohol was banned in space during Gagarin's time?

Happy New Year!

Data error. Core node unavailable.

Data error. Core node unavailable.

It is unreasonable

to expect humans to stay reasonable.

LIU PEIQIANG

Going home.

Reconnect with UEG.

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang.

This is the United Earth Government.

We have decided to choose hope,

regardless of the outcome

that will affect mankind.

We shall respectfully accept it.

Best of luck to you.

Best of luck to Earth.

Earth

will survive.

Depart the hibernation units. Standby for impact!

Activating evacuation procedure for hibernation units.

United Earth Government, inform all personnel on the surface

to seek emergency refuge.

Forward three.

Chinese rescue unit CN171-11.

This is the space station.

I'm Liu Peiqiang.

The space station has 300,000 tons of fuel.

The explosion radius will be over 5,000km.

Igniting the space station

will ignite Jupiter.

Liu Peiqiang! What are you doing?

Wang Lei!

Release now!

Captain Wang Lei,

don't let go.

Shut up, Liu Peiqiang!

-This is an order! -Copy.

Wang Lei! You bastard!

-Liu Qi. -Li Yiyi!

Shut down the Earth Engine!

-Liu Qi. -Shut up!

Son!

Shut up.

My son.

I'm sorry.

Dad is going on a mission again.

This is the most important mission

in my life.

You said that

when I can see Jupiter,

you'll be back.

You lied.

When I left, you were four years old.

And now,

you are a grown man.

I used to tell you that

I would be up in the sky.

Just lift your head,

and you'd be able to see me.

This time,

I promise you'll see me.

Come on.

Son.

Three.

Two.

One.

Dad.

Jupiter.

Jupiter has been ignited.

The shockwave will reach Earth in 7 minutes 13 seconds!

The survival of Earth is counting on this!

Hu Kou.

Evacuate everyone to the underground city!

Where are you, Hu Kou?

Liu Qi!

Liu Qi! Come back!

Duoduo needs you!

Hurry up. Get in!

Li Yiyi. Hurry!

Hurry back, Hu Kou! I'll wait for you at the backup elevator.

Zhou Qian bled too much.

Evacuate now! I'm heading to the backup elevator to pick up the others!

Five minutes left!

Get down now! This is an order!

Roger!

Duoduo! Watch out!

-Boss! -Boss!

Duoduo!

She's here!

-Duoduo. -Get Duoduo out of here!

I can't hold on any longer.

Backup elevator collapsed.

Li Yiyi, do you have any other way?

Wang Lei.

Li Yiyi!

Hurry up and think of something!

Earth Engine! We can try hiding under the Earth Engine!

If the thrust of the Earth Engine can counteract the force of the shockwave,

there's still hope for you!

Liu Qi!

I cannot get out.

Go now!

Liu Qi!

Go!

Hurry!

Members of rescue unit CN171-11.

Attention.

This is

an order.

Live on.

Boss!

SHOCKWAVE IMPACT TIME

Liu Qi! Duoduo!

The transporter.

The transporter is crashing down!

ROCHE LIMIT

We

finally made it!

Warning. Low temperature.

Warning. Please check helmet's seal.

Warning. Low temperature.

Warning. Please check helmet's seal.

Liu Qi.

Help.

Tim! Get down here!

Right away!

-Help us! -Right away!

Earth

survived.

The Sun

is located at the Milky Way's Orion arm.

Its mass constitutes 99.68% of the Solar System.

Now, the core of the Sun is rapidly degenerating

-and expanding. -Go and have a look there!

-Who? -Earth will be engulfed.

To survive, mankind began a groundbreaking project

to maneuver the entire planet

to a new home located 4.2 light years away.

I miss you all so badly!

-Hi, Liu Qi! -Hi.

-We want our sunlight back! -The project is divided into five phases.

Phase one. Mankind will devote every resource

to construct 10,000 thrusters for Earth's propulsion, called Earth Engines,

along with 10,000 underground cities to protect human lives.

-Where are you running? -I didn't...

Stay right there!

Phase two. The Torque Engines along the equator will be activated

to stop Earth's rotation.

A non-rotating Earth

will create mega tsunamis that will sweep through the planet,

eradicating half of the global population.

I'm all set and ready to go!

If there is no accident,

-Phase three. The Earth -in three hours...

will use the gravitational force of the Sun and Jupiter for final acceleration,

embarking on

a voyage of wandering.

Will your sister come along?

Screw you!

After all these years,

you're still the same.

Phase four.

When the Earth leaves the Solar System, the Earth Engines will turn on full power,

spending 500 years to accelerate to 0.5% of the speed of light.

then it will glide for 1,300 years.

After that, reversing Earth Engines' directions,

it will spend another 700 years

in deceleration.

Liu Hu Kou!

Where have you been?

Why is Li Yiyi here too?

Phase five.

Earth will begin to berth at the targeted stellar system,

arriving at our new home

and becoming a new planet of the targeted stellar system.

Don't you dare call me Hu Kou. Where are your manners?

Call me "Brother."

Liu Qi.

Junior driver.

Beijing No. 3 Transportation Division reminds you.

Routes are countless.

Safety is the priority.

With unregulated driving,

your loved ones might end up in tears.

Driving rules violated.

-Deduct three points. -Can you drive? Liu Hu Kou!

Li Yiyi! You're distracting my vision with that bag!

It's my fault?

How am I blocking your vision when I'm sitting behind you?

This project will last for 100 generations.

-Be careful, someone is there. -Shit, what's going on?

We are unaware of what the new Sun at 4.2 light years away

will bring to our new home though.

But from this day on, the courage and perseverance of mankind

will be etched among the stars.

This long voyage of hope and despair

will endure 2,500 years through the cosmos.

It is also known as

the Wandering Earth Project.
