Official Trailer
Story & Plot
High above the ground floats a city. In its slums lives Rudo, an orphan boy who picks through the trash of the rich for things worth saving, in a society that treats both rubbish and the poor as worthless.
Then Rudo is framed for a murder he did not commit. There is no fair trial waiting for him. He is thrown off the edge of the city, down into the Pit, a vast wasteland of garbage where trash beasts roam and the air itself can kill.
Rudo survives the fall, and the Cleaners find him. They are fighters who turn cherished objects into weapons and hunt the beasts of the Pit for a living. Taken in by them, Rudo starts learning their trade, with one goal burning underneath it all: get back up there, and clear his name.
