The upcoming film Homestead presents a post-apocalyptic world after a devastating event, possibly a nuclear attack, has devastated Los Angeles. The film focuses on a fortified community, Homestead, nestled in the Rocky Mountains, where a group of survivors, played by characters played by Neal McDonough, Bailey Chase, Dawn Olivieri, and Jeff Eriksson, attempt to rebuild and survive.
Survival and Security: Highlights the self-sufficiency of the community, emphasizing the need to farm, raise livestock, and possess essential survival skills, including proficiency with firearms. This self-reliance stands in stark contrast to the desperation and chaos that surrounds them. The community's leaders seem to believe that they are best positioned to withstand the challenges of a devastated world, and they fiercely protect their resources. Conflict arises between those inside Homestead and those attempting to invade.
Post-apocalyptic Conflict/Competition: Depicts intense fighting and conflict over limited resources, including food and water. Resource scarcity is a major theme. Disputes arise with intruders endangering the community. The theme of survival of the fittest is evident, emphasizing that those within the community must band together to ensure their survival.
The film uses an enticing incentive to pre-order tickets. Each ticket purchase will enter the buyer into a sweepstakes for a comprehensive prize package that includes a small house, an ATV, cryptocurrency, and a crate full of supplies, which is intended to draw in audiences.
Conveys a survivalist tone and emphasizes the conflict and unity of the community to achieve this survival. This fits the post-apocalyptic genre, which emphasizes resource scarcity and the challenges of survival. The trailer also hints at the moral complexities of using force and how choices have consequences.
