Steven Soderbergh's cerebral remake of the 1972 Russian sci-fi classic follows a doctor who encounters his late wife on a space station where things have spiraled out of control into a metaphysical conundrum. George Clooney plays Dr. Chris Kelvin, a psychologist beckoned to convince the station's crew to come home. What he finds there takes him far beyond the boundaries of his science and into the realm of the supernatural as he must come to grips with the appearance of his wife who committed suicide years earlier. Natascha McElhone, Jeremy Davies and Viola Davis co-star in this "example of sophisticated, challenging filmmaking" (L.A. Times). Based on the book by Stanislaw Lem.
