2001: A Space Odyssey

Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece traces an expedition to the moon, Jupiter and beyond, and imagines the future evolution of humanity. A group of ape-like creatures – primitive humans – discover the use of bones as weapons in a quarrel over a waterhole. Jump forward 1000s of years, and an American expedition finds a mysterious black monolith–an obvious alien artifact–on the Moon. Another expedition is sent to Jupiter, where a second monolith has been discovered. But during the journey the ship’s computer, HAL 9000, develops paranoia.
