What Is Apex About?
Apex follows a grieving woman pushing her limits on a solo adventure in the Australian wild, only to become ensnared in a twisted game with a cunning killer who thinks she's prey. Charlize Theron stars as Sasha, a woman seeking solace in the wilderness who discovers she's become the target of a deadly hunter.
Think The Revenant meets Predator, but with Theron's signature intensity driving the survival horror. Directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest, Beast), the film promises a stripped-down thriller that pits human cunning against raw survival instinct in the unforgiving Australian outback.
The supporting cast includes Taron Egerton, Eric Bana, Caitlin Stasey, and Bessie Holland. Jeremy Robbins penned the screenplay, crafting what appears to be a taut psychological thriller that explores themes of grief, resilience, and the primal fight for survival.
How Many Episodes Does Apex Have?
Apex is a feature film, not a series. As a Netflix original movie, it delivers its complete story in a single viewing experience. The exact runtime will be confirmed closer to the April 24 release date.
