After Earth is a 2013 American post-apocalyptic action-adventure film starring Jaden and Will Smith. The film was loosely based on an original story idea by Will Smith about a father-and-son trip in the wilderness before it was eventually reworked into a sci-fi setting, taking place 1,000 years in the future where humans have evacuated Earth to another planet due to a massive environmental catastrophe.
The film was directed by M. Night Shyamalan, who co-wrote the screenplay with Gary Whitta. Will Smith, his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, his brother-in-law Caleeb Pinkett, and business partner James Lassiter co-produced the film via their company Overbrook Entertainment while Columbia Pictures was the distributor. The film was co-produced by John Rusk, who was also the first assistant director on this film as well as on many of Shyamalan's other films.
