'Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire' is a science fiction film that was released on Netflix on December 15, 2023. The story is set in a fictional galaxy ruled by the Motherworld, whose military, the Imperium, poses a threat to a farming colony on the moon of Veldt.

Directed by Zack Snyder, renowned for his previous films 'Man of Steel' and 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice,' the movie stars Algerian-French actress, dancer, and model Sofia Boutella. She portrays Kora, a former Imperium soldier who rallies warriors from across the galaxy to defy the Imperium.

Rebel Moon is one of Snyder's most personal projects: he serves not only as the director but also as the co-author of the film, inspired in classics such as Star Wars and Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.

Despite receiving negative reviews from specialized media, the film has proven to be a significant success for Netflix, securing the top position in the streaming service's Global Top.

Featuring a star-studded cast, including 'Stranger Things' actor David Harbour, Orlando Bloom, and 'Saltburn' star Archie Madekwe, the movie is based on the true story of Jann Mardenborough, a teenage Gran Turismo player who became a professional racing car driver.
