Watch The Official Trailer For ‘Oblivion’ Starring Tom Cruise

We may have seen a leaked version of the trailer yesterday but now Universal Pictures have released the official trailer for the Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy) directed science fiction epic Oblivion, starring Tom Cruise as one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on an uninhabited Earth. Tom Cruise has a pretty good track record when it comes to sci-fi films, so this one looks like it should definitely live up to the hype.

Tom Cruise stars in Oblivion, an original and groundbreaking cinematic event from the director of TRON: Legacy and the producer of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. On a spectacular future Earth that has evolved beyond recognition, one man’s confrontation with the past will lead him on a journey of redemption and discovery as he battles to save mankind.

Jack Harper (Cruise) is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack’s mission is nearly complete. Living and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands.

Oblivion hits theaters April 12, 2013.
