Elevation 🎥 2024 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Three years before the events of the film, mysterious apex predators called Reapers emerged from sinkholes underground and began exterminating humanity, with 95% killed in the first month. Survivors live in pocketed communities 8,000 feet or more above sea level — elevations that the creatures do not venture into. Lost Gulch Refuge in Front Range, Colorado, is home to Will, a single father, and his son Hunter, who has a lung disease. Will is haunted by his wife Tara’s death at the hands of Reapers during an expedition with Nina, a scientist, to discover the Reapers’ weaknesses.

After months of isolation, Hunter grows frustrated as neighboring communities conserve electricity by turning off radios and using flags to communicate. Will realizes he is running low on oxygen filters for Hunter. Despite Nina’s warnings against going to Boulder, Colorado for more filters, Will persuades her to join him to reach her former lab and find a way to kill the Reapers. Will’s friend Katie joins them, and they enter the Elba Fire Road that leads them to a mine below the safety line. Nina has a compass device she invented that can detect a nearby Reaper due to their high bioelectromagnetic pulses.

They gather supplies along the way, including a grenade launcher, and follow the road leading them to a former ski area. A Reaper spots them, but Will turns on the ski lift’s backup generators, allowing the group to narrowly escape the Reaper above the safety line. They rest at the old lodge, where Nina explains that the Reapers do not eat or sleep, theorizing that they are not biological creatures. The next morning, the group comes to a former mining tunnel Will knows from when he was a miner; however, the mines’ lower levels dip below the safety line, and if they enter.
