Key Lines
There's a reason we woke up early.
We are going to die on this ship.
You are a good man. What you did... you did out of love.
I have to fix this.
The ship is broken, and there's no one to fix it.
We've lost a year.
Dinner tonight? Jim.
There's no one else on this ship.
We're going to spend the rest of our lives on this ship.
Two passengers wake up ninety years too soon.
Opening Hook
The trailer opens with a sweeping extreme-wide shot of a large spacecraft drifting through deep space against a backdrop of stars and nebulae, establishing the isolated, awe-inspiring setting before cutting to a man alone in a mechanical workshop aboard the ship.
Closing Hook
The trailer ends on the official title card showing split close-ups of Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt's eyes above the 'PASSENGERS' logo with the release date 'In Theaters Christmas,' accompanied by a promotional sweepstakes graphic for a zero-gravity date experience.

04A woman (Aurora, played by Jennifer Lawrence) is shown awake on the ship, reading on a futuristic tablet ā€” a second passenger.
05The ship's opulent bar interior is revealed, suggesting passengers expected a luxury voyage.
06The two meet and form a romantic connection aboard the otherwise empty ship.
07Columbia Pictures studio card appears mid-trailer, signaling a tonal shift.
08Rows of hibernation pods containing sleeping passengers reveal the ship's true population.
09Jim is seen investigating a hibernation pod ā€” suggesting he is trying to understand why they woke early.
10The two explore the ship's grand atrium together, discovering they may be alone.
11A chaotic room with scattered debris and Aurora crouching suggests a catastrophic malfunction.
12Aurora looks through a digital device at video of her past life and friends, underscoring what she has lost.
13The ship's bridge shows an explosion outside ā€” the ship is in danger.
14Aurora confronts Jim in an intense close-up, suggesting a revelation or betrayal.
15Both silhouetted figures watch a massive fiery explosion through a viewing window ā€” the crisis peaks.
16Aurora is shown in extreme distress in golden-orange firelight.
17A figure struggles on the floor during the crisis.
18A spectacular zero-gravity water sphere bursts in a darkened interior ā€” a signature visual.
