| The Engines will roll this December! |
MORTAL ENGINES has the story set thousands of years after civilization was destroyed by a cataclysmic event, and humankind has adapted and a new way of living. Gigantic moving cities now roam the Earth, ruthlessly preying upon smaller traction towns on which they feed upon as they need the supplies and metal to keep on moving. Tom Natsworthy (Robert Sheehan), who hails from a Lower Tier of the great traction city of
London, finds himself fighting for his own survival after he encounters the dangerous fugitive Hester Shaw (Hera Hilmar). Two opposites, whose paths should never have crossed, forge an unlikely alliance that is destined to change the course of the future.
