Elevation is a 2024 American post-apocalyptic action thriller film directed by George Nolfi and written by Kenny Ryan and Jacob Roman.

Three years prior to the events of the film, mysterious apex predators called Reapers emerged from sinkholes underground and exterminated humanity, with 95% killed in the first month.

One of the pocket communities is Lost Gulch Refuge in Front Range, Colorado, where a single father, Will, lives with his son, Hunter, who has a lung disease.

Hunter becomes irritated after months of isolation; neighboring communities have turned off their radios to conserve their remaining electricity and use flags to communicate instead.

In October 2022, it was announced that a post-apocalyptic action thriller film titled Elevation was in development, with George Nolfi hired to direct and Kenny Ryan and Jacob Roman writing the screenplay.

The website's consensus reads: "Beautiful scenery and a solid star turn from Anthony Mackie raise Elevation up to an extent, but this sci-fi thriller is too derivative to reach the peak of its potential.

[12] Zachary Lee of RogerEbert.com gave the film two and a half out of four stars and wrote, "So, while Elevation may never rise above its genre trappings or escape the shadow of its influences, it never stoops so low as to be mindlessly vapid.

Simply executed at ninety minutes, it's escapism of the highest order, offering perils at a screen's distance of safety.
