Two-time Academy Award nominees Roy Scheider and John Lithgow team with writer/director Peter Hyams and four-time Oscar-winning special effects genius Richard Edlund for this visually stunning, emotionally moving sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Filled with action, adventure and insights into many of the previous film's cosmic mysteries, it's a spectacular, suspense-filled thriller... and a modern science-fiction masterpiece. It's 2010: The Year We Make Contact! While planet Earth poises on the brink of nuclear self-destruction, a team of Russian and American scientists hurtle to a rendezvous with the abandoned Discovery spacecraft and its sole survivor, the homicidal computer HAL. Their mission: "awaken" HAL and unravel the puzzling series of events that culminated in Dave Bowman's last transmission: "My God, it's full of stars!"
