What is Beacon 23 all about
Zak Penn’s sci-fi thriller unfolds in a dystopian future of the 23rd century, where a remote lighthouse operates in deep space to guide ships safely. A single person completely manages the lighthouses called the Beacon Keepers, who are assisted by a personalized AI, making their jobs a little more comfortable.
On one fated day, the eponymous lighthouse accidentally gave a green light for the passage of a ship called The Crest due to a malfunction, causing the interstellar ship to crash into the dark matter. Surprisingly, the person on the lighthouse, Halan Kai Nelson (played by Stephan James), manages to save one of the passengers named Aster Calyx (played by Lena Headey).
After waking up at the lighthouse, Aster becomes a little skeptical about putting her trust in Halan, and she eventually discovers that the latter is not what he appears to be. Despite this, Aster has secrets of her own.
