The story follows two crew members, Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) and Lieutenant Payton (Dennis Quaid), who awaken from hypersleep aboard the Elysium, a massive spaceship on a colonization mission. With no memory of their mission or identities, they discover the ship is malfunctioning and seemingly abandoned.

As Bower ventures into the dark and decaying corridors of the Elysium, he encounters nightmarish creatures and other survivors. Piece by piece, the truth behind the mission, the crew’s fate, and the terrifying effects of “Pandorum,” a psychological condition caused by prolonged space travel, are revealed.

Combining psychological suspense, action, and a haunting atmosphere, Pandorum explores themes of survival, isolation, and humanity’s instinct for self-destruction. With its gripping narrative and unsettling visuals, the film delivers a tense and thought-provoking experience for fans of sci-fi and horror.
