What is this film please?

[Dachshelp]

Ok so a long shot but I remember watching a Tom Cruise film but can’t remember the name of the full story. Helpful, I know! Basically a load of people have to stay in this building that was like a warehouse sort of building. If they left they would be attacked. I can’t remember if it was by aliens or something. Anyway of course Tom Cruise would leave the building with a big gun to go and get supplies..... anyone know what it is called??

@Whatwouldscullydo

Is it deffo a film? Not a series? Sounds a little like falling skies

This was my thinking!!

No, they are literally just sheltering in this building, they don’t end up living there. They survive in the building which is why only 2 characters leave to scavenge for food etc... they all survive and it’s a happy ending etc etc etc

Definitely a film

@rosegoldwatcher I think yours might be The Happening? Not the greatest film!

It's not a predator movie is it?
Or twister?
Quiet place has a family living in a house /warehouse/barn but that's recent.

Could be walking dead?

No it isn’t a natural disaster film and is much more recent than twister although I like that too! Not predator or walking dead. Also pretty sure it wasn’t an 18 if that helps narrow it down!

28 Days Later?

It could be the Predator 2.

Ugh don’t know where that ‘the’ came from!

Could the person you thought was Tom Cruise be Sam Neill? And could the warehouse be the welcome centre of an amusement park? And could the aliens be....dinosaurs?

Because if so, I think I can help you out.

Or greys anatomy 😂

this one has got me!

@TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross no way. I love Jurassic park and remember every detail of all the films so no chance of mixing that up. I knew it would be a long shot with my very (very) vague description, but thought it was worth a chance asking on here as Mumsnet is full of useless (and very useful!!!) information like this!

The 5th wave is my final guess before I give up (and open the fizz!)

You sure it's aliens and not a weather disaster? The Day After Tomorrow?

Has anyone suggested Edge of Tomorrow?

A quiet place? Him off of the office could be mistaken for Tom Cruise (don’t they both play Jack Reacher?

It really sounds like Dawn of the dead where they are stranded in a mall....sure it's not zombies?
The Jurassic park and Jane Austen suggestions had me giggling

Is it The Darkest Hour? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Darkest_Hour_(film)

The vanishing on 7th Street

We're watching Darkest Hour now for free on Amazon Prime and I'm pretty sure its your show OP! Its shaping up to be a brilliant one - that magical mix of terrible script and fairly good production values.

Ok I have prime.. I shall watch this afternoon @zzizz and see

Oh I am loving it. Its magical, even if its not your one OP.

I have just seen it’s on sky tomorrow afternoon so I will wait until then as I only have prime on my tablet
