Released in 2018, Mortal Empires wasn't a very successful movie upon release, but five years later it's seeing a second life as a Netflix sleeper hit, with many new fans discovering the fantasy epic at home.
Written and produced by fantasy filmmaking icon Peter Jackson, and also written by his Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit co-writers Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, Mortal Engines is set in a fantasy version of our world in which cities are mobilized and can wander around the landscape, consuming each other in a bid to survive in a world devoid of resources.
