2001: A Space Odyssey






During "The Dawn of Man," the first in a series of titled sequences that provide a storytelling format, members of a missing link society come in contact with a strange monolith that descends from the stars. In "TMA-1," Floyd, one of many Earth beings now inhabiting space, learns of a possible epidemic back home, as well as strange disturbances in the outer reaches of our solar system. Astronauts Dave Bowman and Frank Poole are sent to investigate what is happening in "Jupiter Mission 18 Months Later." Both are threatened when the super-computer HAL, decides that the humans are an unnecessary encumbrance, kills Frank before being defeated by Dave. The surviving astronaut enters a psychedelic light tunnel in "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite," aging as he discovers that past and present are one and the same.
