Science in Film is a series of film screenings accompanied by an educational lecture. In collaboration with the UP Crowd, we are popularizing various scientific disciplines through film. Art and science are simply a match made in heaven.
The plot of this British sci-fi thriller, directed by acclaimed director Danny Boyle, is set in the year 2057 aboard the spaceship Icarus 2, whose eight-man crew is tasked with dropping a giant nuclear charge on the dying sun to reawaken them to action. Failing that, the solar winter-plagued home planet will die out. Sixteen months into the harrowing journey, the ship is damaged, communication with Earth is lost, and an unexpected contact is made with the wreckage of the Icarus 1, which was sent on the same mission seven years ago but disappeared without a trace. The crew wants to find out what happened, but after the two spacecraft are reunited, the mutant Captain Pinbacker comes aboard and tries to thwart the rescue mission at all costs. The future of Earth hangs in the balance... This dynamic spectacle, bursting with effects, stars Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Rose Byrne, Michelle Yeoh, etc.
