Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a medical engineer on her first shuttle mission. Her commander, veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney), is helming this last flight before his retirement. During a routine maintenance job, disaster strikes when unexpected space debris pummels them, destroying the shuttle. Ryan and Matt are stranded in space with no link to Earth and no hope of rescue. The only way home is a dangerous trek to another station. But will they make it in time?
In space, no one can hear you… period. This could have easily been the promotional tie-in for this harrowing thriller from director Alfonso Cuaron, where space is incredibly recreated as a noiseless void, danger ever-present at the slightest misstep. Join us as we discuss this monumentally realistic film and the marvel of its special effects and cinematography. Listen… as Johnny Has the Keys ventures into the terrifying abyss with two astronauts desperately trying to remain alive and simply get home.
