The film tells the story of a near future in which the earth is irreversibly sandy, as human emissions and rubbish exceed its carrying capacity. As plants and animals mutate to create the Earth's new masters, the "sand worms", which are slaughtering the planet and driving humans to the brink of extinction, the survivors are left to their own devices to find the only remaining refuge in the deep desert, the "Oasis". An exiled team of wealthy businessmen, scientists, security chiefs, mechanic families and gangsters set out on an adventure to find the Oasis in a special armoured vehicle, but the bloodthirsty insects are hot on their heels.

The film constructs its desolate world by relying on familiar post-apocalyptic tropes infused with a distinct local flavor. It explores the tense dynamics of a makeshift crew under relentless pursuit, using the sand worms as a constant engine for survival horror and vehicular action.
Those who tire of slow-burn sci-fi will find a straightforward sprint through dunes of peril. What lingers after the credits is the gritty sensation of a chase where humanity itself is the endangered species. — MovieFinder Editorial
