In a post-apocalyptic world where long stretches of Night have plunged the world into nearly eternal blackness, murderous creatures known as The Horde hunt in the dark. Runaway Lucia (Isabelle Fuhrman) must find her way to The Wall where safety awaits. An injured but determined Barry (Ben Hardy) promises to get them there. But The Horde are not the only threat; from the darkness, brutal human trafficking gangs have formed, whose survival depends on kidnapping runaways just like Lucia. In this propulsive thriller playing out over the course of one night, the only way to survive the hours to daylight is to trust each other, keeping a path of light until they make it to The Wall.

Another producer was quoted saying: "Die by Night is the type of film we wished we could have seen at our neighborhood theatre when we were kids, begging our older brothers to sneak us in somehow — visceral, hardcore, relentless, and scary. The sort of film that we can’t show our kids just yet, but can’t wait until they are old enough that we can."
One of the film's producers said the following: "Die by Night promises to be a nail-biting, action-packed thriller with non-stop jump scares. Rod’s vision of a dark, dystopian, post-apocalyptic new world, combined with the terrifying hordes of creatures conceived by the industry’s top designers, will reach out and grab the audience not letting go until the credits roll."
Creature design on the film is being spearheaded by Emmy Award-winning concept artist Vincent Proce, known for his design work on blockbuster projects including It Chapter 2, and both films in the Smile series.
Written/directed by Rod Blackhurst (Here Alone, Amanda Knox, Blood for Dust), who was quoted saying: "This film was born from the fears and anxieties that came with becoming a father for the first time, the overwhelming desire to somehow protect my daughter from the dark forces that exist in the world — from the dangerous ideologies that fuel the self-righteous, and of the impossible choices we must make in the face of chaos. We’re pleased as punch to be partnering with Protagonist whose taste and prestige precedes them; they make the kinds of films I love and immediately understood the duality of ‘Die by Night’ as both a mad genre film and a story about us and the times we’re living in but depicted in the most fantastical ways."
Described as a dystopian survival thriller.
