Edge of Tomorrow (also marketed with the tagline
Live. Die. Repeat.) is a 2014 American
science fiction film starring
Tom Cruise and
Emily Blunt.
Doug Liman directed the film based on a screenplay adapted from the 2004 Japanese
light novel All You Need Is Kill by
Hiroshi Sakurazaka. The film takes place in a future where Earth is invaded by an alien race. Cruise plays Bill Cage, a public relations officer with no combat experience, who is ordered by his superior to film the first wave of a crucial
landing operation against the aliens. Though Cage is killed in combat, he finds himself in a
time loop that sends him back to the day preceding the battle every time he dies. Cage teams up with Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt) in seeking a way to defeat the extraterrestrials.
