GROK: The film you're referring to is most likely The Quiet Earth, a 1985 New Zealand post-apocalyptic science fiction movie. Directed by Geoff Murphy, it stars Bruno Lawrence as Zac Hobson, a scientist who wakes up one morning to find that everyone else in the world has mysteriously disappeared. The story begins on a normal winter morning near Hamilton, New Zealand, when Zac awakens to a deserted world after a strange event linked to "Project Flashlight," an experiment he was involved in to create a global energy grid. As he explores the empty streets and buildings, he grapples with isolation and the mystery of what happened, eventually encountering two other survivors, Joanne (Alison Routledge) and Api (Pete Smith), which shifts the narrative into a mix of survival, tension, and existential questions. Filmed in various New Zealand locations, including Hamilton and Auckland, The Quiet Earth is a cult classic known for its slow-burn storytelling and striking imagery, like Zac wandering through an eerily silent city. It’s loosely based on a 1981 novel of the same name by Craig Harrison and has been praised for its unique take on the "last man on Earth" trope. If this doesn’t match the film you’re thinking of, feel free to provide more details!
