Summaries

Plot Summary

Cold Storage is a 2026 American science-fiction thriller directed by Jonas Pål Andersen and written by David Koepp, adapted from the 2019 novel by David Dewar and Douglas Preston. The film stars Liam Hemsworth as Peter Sturgis, an epidemiologist whose career was derailed by tragedy and who is pulled back into crisis when a genetically engineered pathogen escapes containment in a remote facility known as Cold Storage. Joining him is Mackenzie Davis as Kara Evans, a tough-as-nails former military tactician now tasked with securing the town and protecting civilians, and Giancarlo Esposito as the hardened agent in charge of the containment unit. Together, they uncover that what was meant to be a guarded vault for scientific advancement may be hiding far more dangerous truths. Set against a bleak, snowy small-town backdrop, Cold Storage blends quarantined terror with action-thriller pacing, exploring themes of fear, scientific hubris, and the human instinct for connection under pressure. Produced by Skydance Media and distributed by Paramount Pictures, the film premiered in theaters and on select streaming platforms in the United States on February 14, 2026. The movie has been positioned as a pulse-pounding experience for fans of grounded sci-fi thrillers with real-world stakes.
