“The End of Oak Street” is a 2026 American science fiction survival film written, co-produced, and directed by David Robert Mitchell. The movie, which had its world premiere on August 9, 2026, is scheduled for a theatrical release in the United States on August 14, 2026, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
The plot centers on the Platt family—Denise (Anne Hathaway), Greg (Ewan McGregor), and their children Audrey (Maisy Stella) and Brian (Christian Convery)—who live a seemingly ordinary suburban life in 1982. Their family dynamics are strained, with Denise contemplating divorce and Greg secretly working as a pizza delivery driver after losing his job.
A mysterious cosmic event, characterized by a huge white light, suddenly engulfs Oak Street, leading to a power outage and atmospheric changes. The family soon discovers their neighborhood has been transported millions of years into the past, surrounded by a prehistoric landscape where dinosaurs roam. The film then follows their struggle for survival against these ancient creatures, while also navigating their personal conflicts.
The film has garnered positive reviews from critics, with many noting its blend of science fiction, survival, and family drama, and its “Amblin-esque” feel, reminiscent of classic Spielberg films. The budget for “The End of Oak Street” was reportedly between $80 and $85 million.
