2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY

Beginning with the dawn of civilization and chronicling the rise from ape to man, the film evolves to the story of astronauts Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood who find themselves at the mercy of super computer HAL 9000. Powerful imagery, ground-breaking special effects, the bold classical music score and repeated juxtapositions of man and machinery have made 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY one of the most significant and relevant films of the 20th century. Nominated for four Academy Awards. #22 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies
