Long Distance

Long Distance (2024) is a sci-fi action comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon and starring Anthony Ramos and Naomi Scott. The film follows an asteroid miner who crash-lands on an alien planet and has to cross it on foot.

Andy's ship goes down, the oxygen supply is finite, and the terrain is full of things that want to kill him. The only other survivor — a woman named Iza — is stranded in her escape pod kilometres away, reachable only by radio. They bicker, strategise, disagree about almost everything, and slowly piece together enough mutual trust to stay alive. What could be a survival thriller plays mostly as a comedy of two people who would never have chosen each other.

Ramos handles the physical demands of the role well, and Naomi Scott does something genuinely tricky: making a character who's stuck in a pod and only heard as a voice feel like a full presence. Speck and Gordon keep the pacing tight at 87 minutes — no wasted scenes. Stream Long Distance online on iFILM.
