Post-Apocalyptic short film PHOENIX 9 reveals a world devastated by nuclear bombardments that is World War III.

Years after the attacks, seven survivors attempt a perilous trek from the east coast of the United States to a rumored enclave of other survivors in the west coast. Midway through their journey, the group takes shelter from an approaching superstorm in an abandoned building.

However, the building isn’t what it seems, and the group discovers a fantastic secret deep within its bowels that may hold a ray of hope.
