2010
In the very near future, a small group of Americans and Russians set out on the greatest adventure of them all...to see if there is life beyond the stars.
A cerebral, visually grand space opera that balances Cold War tensions and existential questions about consciousness and humanity's place in the cosmos.
While planet Earth poises on the brink of nuclear self-destruction, a team of Russian and American scientists aboard the Leonov hurtles to a rendezvous with the still-orbiting Discovery spacecraft and its sole known survivor, the homicidal computer HAL.
