"2001: A Space Odyssey" Plot Summary.

Stanley Kubrick’s dazzling, Academy Award®-winning achievement is a compelling drama of man vs. machine, a stunning meld of music and motion. Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke) first visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past. And then leaps millennia into colonized space, ultimately whisking astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted space, perhaps even into immortality.

"Open the pod bay doors, HAL." Let an awesome journey unlike any other begin.
