Goodbye World is a 2013 American post-apocalyptic film directed by Denis Hennelly and written by Hennelly and Sarah Adina Smith.

James and Lily live off the grid, raising their young daughter in a cocoon of comfort and self-sustainability. When a mysterious mass SMS ripples its way across the country triggering a crippling, apocalyptic cyber attack, their home transitions from sheltered oasis to a fortress. Estranged friends soon show up at their door for protection and community. But the unexpected reunion is quickly undermined by the ghosts of the past, the spark of lingering romances and the threat of a violent local militia. The friends struggle to survive as the world crumbles around them – but will they be able to survive each other?

Review(s)
The strength of Goodbye World is that it understands the foibles of these characters and lets them be as flawed as they are while they are also trying to survive not just the apocalypse but each other. K Walsh – The Playlist
