About
You can stream The 5th Wave (2016) on Netflix with a subscription, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.
16-year-old Cassie Sullivan tries to survive in a world devastated by the waves of an alien invasion that has already decimated the population and knocked mankind back to the Stone Age.
A fierce, survivalist intensity radiates from the teenage protagonist as she navigates a landscape stripped of civilization. This alien invasion thriller trades slow-burn tension for rapid-fire movement through a world reclaimed by chaos.
