What happens in Hell from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Set in a sun-scorched, post-apocalyptic Germany in 2016, the film follows three survivors—Marie, Hannah Herzsprung, her younger sister Leonie, Lisa Vicari, and Phillip, Lars Eidinger—as they navigate a world where daylight is deadly, crops have failed, water is scarce, and social order has collapsed. The trio travels in a battered Volvo station wagon with metal mesh on the windows, trying to shield themselves from the sun’s glare while they search for a rumored source of water in the mountains.
On this harsh journey, they scavenge wrecked cars and gas stations for fuel, water, and food, staying vigilant for hostile survivors who might attack. The ride is tense, and every stop becomes a careful balance between resource gathering and keeping the group safe under the burning sky.
