Amazon MGM Studios has confirmed that "Project Hail Mary," the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure starring Ryan Gosling, will be available for global streaming on Prime Video starting July 3. This release follows a successful theatrical run, where the film, based on Andy Weir's bestselling novel, captivated audiences and critics alike, earning over $683 million worldwide.
A Galactic Mission for Humanity
The film thrusts Ryan Gosling into the role of Ryland Grace, an ordinary science teacher who awakens on an interstellar spacecraft with no memory of his past.

The adaptation faithfully brings Weir's imaginative story to life, creating an immersive cinematic experience.
