Synopsis
In the not-too-distant future, the Sun is rapidly ageing and expanding, and within a few hundred years it will engulf and destroy the entire solar system. To meet this unprecedented crisis, the nations of Earth set aside their differences and form a united government to find a way for humanity to survive. After much searching and deliberation, the Moving Mountain Project, which would push Earth out of the solar system, wins overwhelming support. People begin building ten thousand giant planetary engines to carry Earth on a long journey. The devoted Liu Peiqiang (Wu Jing) and Han Duoduo (Wang Zhi) pass test after test to join the astronaut corps and fall in love along the way. But on the long road ahead, a mysterious force seems to keep sabotaging humanity's plan to save itself. The seemingly insignificant Liu Peiqiang, quantum scientist Tu Hengyu (Andy Lau), China's representative to the United Earth Government Zhou Zhezhi (Li Xuejian) and countless ordinary people of Earth all become an essential part of this great plan...
