A new time, a new odyssey, a new chance to confront enigmas arising from the daring Jupiter mission of 2001. Crew members aboard the Leonov will rendezvous with the still-orbiting Discovery. And their fate will rest on the silicon shoulders of the computer they reawaken, HAL-9000. Based on Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey sequel, director Peter Hyams spellbinder nominated for 5 Academy Awards stars Roy Scheider, John Lithgow, Oscar winner Helen Mirren, Bob Balaban and Keir Dullea.
