Exclusive: Tom Cruise takes you behind-the-scenes on Oblivion

Yahoo! Movies has got the inside scoop on Tom Cruise’s spectacular new sci-fi blockbuster ‘Oblivion’.

In our exclusive behind-the-scenes video the Hollywood superstar, along with director Joseph Kosinski, discuss the origins of the story.

Watch the video below:

Set in 2073, it sees Cruise star as one of the last drone repairmen stationed on earth, which was destroyed by a war with aliens 60 years before (wait, that’s this year!).

He’s about to leave, when he rescues a young woman (played by Olga Kurylenko), who forces him to reconsider the alien war, what happened to earth, and whether he actually lives in a police state. We’re also looking forward to seeing Morgan Freeman play a 102-year-old-leader of a resistance movement.

With nods to classic sci-fi from the 70s, director Joseph Kosinski described it as “a sci-fi adventure that spans two different worlds and two different times. It's epic in terms of its scale and scope, but it's a character driven story with a small cast”. We’re looking forward to it.

‘Oblivion’ is released in the UK on 10 April 2013.
