Moretz Protects Baby Brother in "The 5th Wave" Poster‏

Fresh off the reveal of its teaser trailer last week, the young adult novel-turned motion picture “The 5th Wave” starring Chloë Grace Moretz, has now unveiled its first one-sheet artwork. With the tagline, “Protect Your Own,” the poster shows Moretz' character, Cassie, shielding her younger brother from an unseen menace.

In the film, four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth decimated. Darkness. Destruction. Infection. Invasion. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie (Moretz) is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal 5th wave – the total annihilation of humanity -- Cassie teams up with a young man who may become her final hope – if she can only trust him.
