Breathe Trailer: Jennifer Hudson and Milla Jovovich struggle to get oxygen

The first trailer for Breathe, starring Jennifer Hudson and Milla Jovovich has been released by the makers. The post-apocalyptic thriller shows the mother and daughter duo doing all that it takes for them to survive in a world that is deprived of oxygen.

“After Earth is left uninhabitable due to lack of oxygen, a mother Maya (Hudson) and her daughter Zora (Wallis) are forced to live underground, with short trips to the surface only made possible by a coveted, state-of-the-art oxygen suit made by Maya's husband, Darius, whom she presumes to be dead,” reads a synopsis.

The events of Breathe are set in motion after Maya's (Hudson) husband and genius inventor Darius (Common) leaves their bunker for a longer outing, only to presumably run out of oxygen and die on the surface. Alone and forced to make excursions themselves, Maya and her daughter Zora (Wallis) try to get by, but danger quickly finds them when they run into two survivors during one trip. One of them, Tess (Milla Jovovich), pleads for the pair to let her into their bunker, so she can examine and replicate Darius's oxygen generator. Her plan could help save the planet, but she shows her true colors after shutting off their power and preparing to let them suffocate. While her intentions are unknown, it's clear she and her fellow survivors will go to any lengths to seize the oxygen they need, forcing Maya and Zora into a tense fight for their lives.

Breathe comes from director Stefon Bristol, with a script written by Doug Simon. Alongside Hudson and Jovovich, the movie also stars Quvenzhané Wallis, Raúl Castillo with Common and Sam Worthington.

Breathe arrives in theaters and on-demand on April 26 in the U.S.
