Our TV movie pick for tonight (Wednesday, 23 October) is Prospect, a hugely underseen 2018 sci-fi gem starring Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us).
Set in the future, the film centres around a teenage girl named Cee (Sophie Thatcher, The Boogeyman) who travels with her father (Jay Duplass, Industry) to a remote alien moon, to mine for gems in its forests.
The dad and the daughter quickly find themselves in peril, however, when they come across a pair of bandits (one of whom is played by Pascal).
Against all odds, an unlikely alliance winds up being formed.
Earning an 89% Rotten Tomatoes score, Prospect was praised for its incredible visuals - all the more impressive given the film cost less than $4 million to make - as well as its performances, its detailed world-building and its stripped-back Western-like story.
The movie is airing on TV tonight/tomorrow morning on the channel Legend at 12.45 am and is also available to watch on Prime Video.
This cult musical action-comedy centres on a man just released from prison (John Belushi) who puts together his old band to save the Catholic home where he and his brother (Dan Aykroyd) were raised.
