Movie Synopsis
Edge of Tomorrow is a pulse-pounding science fiction action film directed by Doug Liman and written by Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth, and John-Henry Butterworth. The screenplay is loosely based on the Japanese light novel "All You Need Is Kill" by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, which Viz Media published and helped bring to the big screen in collaboration with Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow.
The film stars Tom Cruise as Major William Cage, a public relations officer with no combat experience, and Emily Blunt as the legendary war hero Sergeant Rita Vrataski. The supporting cast includes Bill Paxton as Master Sergeant Farell and Brendan Gleeson as General Brigham, with additional performances from Jonas Armstrong, Tony Way, and Franz Drameh rounding out the talented ensemble.
Set in a near future where Earth faces an unrelenting assault from an alien race called "Mimics," the film depicts a world where most of continental Europe has been conquered by these formidable extraterrestrial invaders. By 2020, humanity has formed the United Defense Force (UDF), a global military alliance established to combat the alien threat. Hope emerges when the UDF achieves a victory over the Mimics at Verdun using newly developed mech-suits.
When Major Cage attempts to blackmail General Brigham to avoid frontline duty during a massive invasion of France, he finds himself stripped of his rank and thrust into combat as a lowly infantryman. Within minutes of the beach landing, Cage is killed in action. However, his death marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey rather than its end. Cage discovers he is trapped in a time loop, reliving the same day and the same brutal battle repeatedly, dying each time only to wake up at the previous day's beginning.
As Cage experiences the invasion over and over, he begins to develop combat skills and tactical knowledge with each iteration. He eventually crosses paths with Rita Vrataski, the "Angel of Verdun," whose own experience with the time loop phenomenon makes her the only person who believes and understands his predicament. Together, they work to exploit the time loop, using each reset to gather intelligence, improve their fighting abilities, and develop a strategy to defeat the alien invaders by targeting their power source.
The film masterfully blends intense action sequences with moments of humour and genuine character development, as Cruise's Cage transforms from a cowardly desk officer into a skilled warrior. The chemistry between Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt elevates the material, bringing depth to what could have been a straightforward science fiction premise. The innovative screenplay manages to keep the repetitive nature of the time loop fresh and engaging throughout the film's runtime.
The production featured an exceptional behind-the-scenes team, including Academy Award-winning director of photography Dion Beebe, production designer Oliver Scholl, editor James Herbert, costume designer Kate Hawley, and Oscar-nominated visual effects supervisor Nick Davis. Edge of Tomorrow was notable as the first motion picture to be filmed at the recently christened Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden. Principal photography began in London in September 2012, with notable sequences filmed in iconic locations including Trafalgar Square, which was completely shut down in November to accommodate the production.
The film's spectacular visual effects bring the alien Mimics to life with terrifying efficiency, while the mech-suit designs provide a grounded, militaristic aesthetic that enhances the film's immersive combat sequences. The clever editing allows the time loop concept to unfold without becoming repetitive, showing just enough of each iteration to advance the story while maintaining momentum.
The cast and crew embraced the film's time loop premise in a unique way during premieres in London, Paris, and New York City on May 28, 2014, travelling westward to attend all three screenings in a single day on a staggered schedule. The New York City screening began at 11:59 pm, a time specifically chosen to reference the film's title.
Released theatrically on June 6, 2014, in the United States, Edge of Tomorrow received positive reviews from critics who praised its intelligent script, thrilling action, and the performances of its lead actors. The film grossed $370.5 million worldwide against a production budget of $178 million, and has since gained a devoted following that recognises it as one of the finest science fiction action films of the 2010s. The film's tagline, "Live Die Repeat," became so iconic that it was prominently featured in the home media release.
Edge of Tomorrow stands as a testament to intelligent blockbuster filmmaking, combining thought-provoking science fiction concepts with spectacular action and compelling performances. This authentic theatrical poster captures the essence of this modern sci-fi classic.

While the industry does have a few condition rating standards, there is no movie poster condition rating system that has become the accepted standard world wide. This unfortunately makes condition terms vary from movie poster dealer to movie poster dealer. Terms like Mint, Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, seem to be universal to most condition rating standards, but most standards still lack definition about what and how many flaws/defects/damage defines a specific condition level. For more information on how Movie Posters Australia grades the condition of its movie posters, daybills, lobby cards and other ephemera please see out Movie Poster Condition and Grading page.
In the early days of cinema, posters were primarily hand-drawn and printed in various sizes, often tailored to fit the available space in theaters or promotional areas. In the United States, the "One Sheet" size (some times called '1 Sheet' or '1SH' approximately 27" x 41", became the standard during the 1930s. This size was manageable for theater display and suited the needs of a growing film industry.
Different countries developed their own poster sizes and styles, which also changed sometimes over the decades, and were influenced by local preferences and practical considerations, like available paper sheet sizes and how many posters could be printed on one sheet.
In Australia, the most popular size, the Daybill, has evolved over the decades. Australian Daybills sizes in chronological order are:
- Long Daybills (15" x 40"), from 1920's to pre-WW2 or pre-1941, were printed two to a sheet, longer than current Daybill versions. There were size variances in width from 14.5" to 15" and in height from 39.5" to 40".
- War Time Daybill (10" x 30"), during WW2, for a short time to conserve paper during a war time shortage, four Daybills were printed on one sheet. Information from Press Sheets also referred to these War-Time sizes as "New Size Daybills".
- Post-War Daybill (13" x 30"), this 13" x 30" Post-War size carried through until the 1980's, but also varied in size from 13"-14" x 29.75"-30.25".
- Post-80's Daybill (33cm x 66cm, or 13" x 26"), over a few years in the late 80's, the size changed again to a metric 33cm x 66cm, although these have also varied from 32-33cm x 64.5-66cm. New sizes from the late 80's were created, sometimes called a Mini Daybill or Mini Poster, in 9" x 12", 11" x 17" and 13" x 20".
In the UK, the somewhat unique 'Quad' poster, measuring 30" x 40", became popular, offering a larger landscape format that allowed for more elaborate designs.
In Japan, movie poster sizes were smaller, such as the "B2" (20" x 28"), which suited the more compact living environment of larger cities, smaller advertising spaces, and unique aesthetic sensibilities.
The 1970s and 1980s, witnessed the rise of the "six-sheet" (81" x 81") format, reflecting a trend towards larger and more visually impactful advertising.
Overall, the variation in movie poster sizes across different countries and decades highlights the interplay between technological printing advancements, paper resource availability, paper sheet size changes, cultural preferences, and the evolving nature of movie marketing.
At Movie Posters Australia we tag each poster we sell with a 'size' and 'condition' description at the very top of the page for our customers to easily see. There may however be some slight variations to sizes by up one inch due to variations in production and guillotine methods by printers over the decades.
