The 2016 film The Osiris Child presents a riveting blend of action, adventure, and science fiction, set in a distant future wherein humanity has begun to expand its reach into the universe. At the heart of the narrative is Lieutenant Kane Sommerville, a conflicted war hero whose past haunted him following a tragic accident that resulted in the loss of nearly his entire crew.
In this bleak future, humans have established military contract companies like Exor, which oversees a penal colony and a capital city on a desolate planet named Osiris. Kane, stationed at the sky complex known as the Flotilla, grapples with the consequences of his earlier mistakes and the distances it has put between him and his eleven-year-old daughter, Indi.
The film opens with a poignant moment as Kane attempts to connect with Indi during a brief visit to the planet’s barren landscape. While he tries to instill a sense of pride in his daughter regarding humanity’s expansion, Indi voices her concerns, suggesting that her mother thinks Kane is running away from his responsibilities. The underlying emotional stakes of his situation become evident when Indi is sent to Osiris City to stay with a nanny, as restrictions prevent her from joining Kane in the military base.
As tensions rise within the penal colony due to disturbances, Kane receives distressing news: a breakout has occurred, leading deadly creatures, bred through the company’s experimental methods, to escape and threaten the inhabitants of Osiris. General Lynex, the ruthless leader of Exor, announces the use of Protocol 84, an order to eliminate the colony entirely to protect the company's interests. Trapped in a race against time, Kane is determined to reach his daughter before it’s too late.
As Kane attempts to contact Indi, he discovers that all communications have been severed. Learning from a colleague that no hostage situation exists but rather a full-blown disaster at the prison, Kane's resolve intensifies. He makes the bold decision to steal a ship and rush to the surface to rescue his daughter despite the prohibitive risk of Exor's deadly protocols. This leads him to crash-land on the planet and encounter Sy Lombrok, a former inmate, who decides to help Kane reach the capital in exchange for safe passage.
Their journey unfolds with flashbacks revealing Sy’s previous life as a nurse in the prison and his harrowing escape plan alongside other inmates to break free from the clutches of the Exor-owned prison.
Kane, Sy, and eventually Indi must confront not only the mutant creatures but the collapsing social order of Osiris City, now gripped by chaos as the monsters wreak havoc. As they track down Indi's location, they discover her nanny has met a tragic fate. The emotional turmoil intensifies as Kane reveals the truth to Indi and explains the dangers they are now facing.
Meanwhile, Gyp and Bill, who assist in the rescue, become crucial to the group's survival. However, Bill is injured during the escape, highlighting the dire reality of their circumstances amidst a slew of deadly encounters with the creatures spawned from Exor’s experiments.
As they seek safety in a bunker, the situation deteriorates further. The Exor complex, thinking Kane and his allies are still a threat, pursues them relentlessly with ships. The climax of the film drives home the perilous stakes as Kane sacrifices himself to protect Indi and Sy, leaving them to find refuge alone.
As days pass following an overwhelming explosion from the facility, Sy, who has begun to mutate due to infection from one of the creatures, faces a devastating choice. The bond shared with Indi remains strong, providing a flicker of hope through his transformation into a monster.
In a melancholic yet hopeful conclusion, Indi emerges as a survivor clad in a spacesuit, embodying the resilience of humanity. The last moments culminate in a poignant farewell to her father as she navigates the future alongside Sy, who, despite his monstrous transformation, retains a semblance of his humanity and rationality due to Indi’s love and connection.
The Osiris Child serves as not just a thrilling narrative but also a profound exploration of paternal bonds, responsibility, and humanity’s dark undertones when merging technology with morality. Through its action-packed sequences and emotional depth, the film depicts a haunting yet compelling journey of survival in a world shaped by human error and corporate greed.
