About
With this monument of twentieth-century art, Stanley Kubrick fused pop cinema and avant-garde abstraction as never before, resulting in the most influential science-fiction film ever made and a blockbuster of unprecedented philosophical and spiritual depth. Inspired by the futurist writings of Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: A Space Odyssey journeys from the dawn of man to the space age, as two astronauts on a mission to Jupiter discover realms beyond human understanding, along the way awakening to the horror that their ship’s sentient supercomputer, HAL 9000, has turned against them. Both a marvel of technological realism and an otherworldly cosmic ballet composed in images of enigmatic, oneiric power, this consciousness-bending voyage into the unknown continues to inspire awed terror and infinite wonder.
