Tye Sheridan and Lily-Rose Depp star in director Neil Burger's science fiction film, Voyagers.

A crew of young people on a lifelong expedition to colonize a distant planet grow frustrated with their rigidly controlled existence and begin to rebel, putting the mission at risk, in Voyagers.

"They were disheveled, zoned out, and looking like predators resting after a hunt. I don't know where that image came from.
