Synopsis
The Discovery (2017) is a sci-fi drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Charlie McDowell and starring Robert Redford, Jason Segel, and Rooney Mara. Runtime: 102 minutes.
Dr. Thomas Harbor (Redford) has done something no scientist should do: proved the afterlife is real. The world's response is brutal — millions choose to die, convinced they'll get a second shot at a better life. His son Will (Segel) arrives at the secluded compound where his father now runs a cult-like research operation, along with a guarded young woman named Isla (Mara). What draws them both there turns out to be the film's real puzzle.
McDowell structures the story as a slow-burn mystery about regret rather than about death itself — a more interesting angle than the premise suggests. Redford strips away charm to play a man who unleashed catastrophe and keeps going anyway. Stream The Discovery (2017) online on iFILM.
