From Google.com:
Awake is a 2021 apocalyptic sci-fi thriller on Netflix directed by Mark Raso, starring Gina Rodriguez. When a mysterious global event wipes out all electronics and strips humanity of its ability to sleep, society quickly devolves into chaos. A former soldier and mother races to protect her daughter, who holds the key to a cure. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Key Details
Plot Summary
Following a massive solar flare and an unprecedented electromagnetic event, the world's population suddenly loses the ability to fall asleep. Within 24 to 48 hours, mass hysteria breaks out as sleep-deprivation causes severe cognitive decline, hallucinations, and fatal organ failure. [2, 5, 6, 7]
Jill, a former Army medic with a troubled past, discovers that her young daughter, Matilda, is seemingly the only person on earth still capable of resting. As scientists and desperate, sleep-deprived citizens hunt for a cure, Jill and her family embark on a perilous journey to a military research base to figure out if Matilda's immunity can save humanity. [1, 2, 5]
The Ending Explained
Once they reach the research facility, Dr. Murphy attempts to run tests on Matilda to extract the cure. After seeing the ruthless lengths the scientists go to in their experiments, Jill rescues her daughter. In the film's climax, they discover a unique mechanic regarding the ability to sleep: humans and animals are able to fall asleep briefly after experiencing "clinical death" and being revived. By purposefully drowning and resuscitating Matilda—and eventually themselves—Jill and her surviving family members successfully restore their own ability to sleep. [5, 8, 9, 10, 11]
