The first trailer for the Gary Oldman, Asa Butterfield, and Britt Robertson-led The Space Between Us has been released!

The Space Between Us asks a simple question: What would happen if a human was born on Mars? And what if that person fell in love with someone back on Earth? And these questions are grounded close to reality. As we told you after visiting the film’s Albuquerque, New Mexico set, filmmakers consulted with people at NASA to make sure the movie was scientifically accurate in terms of how a human baby would develop on the Red Planet.

An extended trailer for the movie finds Gardner making his way to earth to meet his friend Tulsa, and Gary Oldman’s character — who is essentially responsible for Gardner being born on Mars after founding the mission — trying to track him down:

As the trailer reveals, Gardner does make it back to Earth where he visits some of America’s most scenic landmarks, including the Grand Canyon and the Las Vegas Strip.

The film’s synopsis offers a little more context:

In this interplanetary adventure, a space shuttle embarks on the first mission to colonize Mars, only to discover after takeoff that one of the astronauts is pregnant. Shortly after landing, she dies from complications while giving birth to the first human born on the red planet – never revealing who the father is. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Gardner Elliot – an inquisitive, highly intelligent boy who reaches the age of 16 having only met 14 people in his very unconventional upbringing.

While searching for clues about his father, and the home planet he’s never known, Gardner begins an online friendship with a street smart girl in Colorado named Tulsa. When he finally gets a chance to go to Earth, he’s eager to experience all of the wonders he could only read about on Mars – from the most simple to the extraordinary. But once his explorations begin, scientists discover that Gardner’s organs can’t withstand Earth’s atmosphere.

Eager to find his father, Gardner escapes the team of scientists and joins with Tulsa on a race against time to unravel the mysteries of how he came to be, and where he belongs in the universe.

The Space Between Us opens in theaters August 19, 2016.
