That’s what Edge of Tomorrow is all about, our sci-fi TV tip today
The Humanity is being overrun by extremely dangerous and merciless alienswho call themselves mimics. Major Bill Cage (Cruise) actually only has anything to do with this from a distance. However, due to a series of unfortunate circumstances, he unexpectedly ends up right at the front in France. There he has to go straight into battle without a clue as to what he’s actually doing.
With the sobering result that he is almost immediately destroyed by the invaders. Only he stays afterwards not dead, but strangely enough, woke up again in the morning of the same day. He is stuck in a time loop that causes him to experience the same massacre of the human soldiers over and over again. But perhaps there is a way out and legendary fighter Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt) could be the key.
