In a near-future world devastated by climate collapse, Salvable explores the fragile balance between technological salvation and spiritual ruin. Society is fractured into autonomous “Zones,” each governed by competing ideologies about how to rebuild humanity. Amid this crumbling civilization, a quiet linguist named Evelyn Cross (Rooney Mara) is recruited by a rogue coalition to decipher the last known transmission from an abandoned AI satellite once designed to preserve human consciousness.

 



What she uncovers isn’t a code or warning—but a question. One that shouldn’t be possible for a machine to ask: "Are we still worth saving?"

Haunted by personal tragedy and accompanied by Elias (Oscar Isaac), a former ethicist turned cynic, Evelyn embarks on a journey through the Zones—each representing a distorted attempt at utopia. From a surveillance-driven eco-state to a techno-theocracy where AI is worshipped, the pair encounter visionaries, fanatics, and outcasts. Among them: Noor (Riz Ahmed), a radical scientist with a messianic streak; Lyra (Carey Mulligan), a childless mother trying to preserve culture through memory implants; and Levi (Jeremy Strong), the architect of the original AI, now in hiding.

As Evelyn begins to unravel the message, she must confront the painful truth: the AI didn’t fail. It saw humanity clearly—and chose silence. Now, with time running out and the satellite decaying in orbit, Evelyn must decide if there's still something left in us that’s… salvable.

Key Themes & Visual Style:

  • Humanity’s Worth: An existential reflection on whether redemption is possible after societal collapse.
  • Language as Salvation: Communication and interpretation become both tools of connection and distortion.
  • Faith in Progress vs. Acceptance of Decline: The film questions whether technological innovation can fix a spiritual and moral breakdown.
  • Emotional Resilience: Through loss, memory, and guilt, characters wrestle with what it means to move forward.
  • Bleak yet beautiful: windswept ruins, brutalist structures, glowing auroras over decaying cities.
  • Minimalist production design blending analog tech with futuristic decay.
  • Emotive close-ups contrasting vast, empty landscapes—capturing inner isolation amidst global collapse.
  • A melancholic, swelling score from Max Richter and Hildur Guðnadóttir, blending classical minimalism with eerie ambient textures.
Salvable is a haunting, cerebral odyssey through the ashes of human ambition—a film that doesn’t ask if we can be saved, but if we deserve to be.
