Synopsis:

In this stunning sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dr. Heywood Floyd (Roy Scheider) helms a joint U.S.-Soviet mission of scientists (including John Lithgow and Helen Mirren) trying to rendezvous with the abandoned Discovery spacecraft, reactivate the homicidal computer HAL-9000 (voiced by Douglas Rain) and finally learn the truth. Director Peter Hyams’s tense epic, set with Earth on the brink of nuclear war, was nominated for five Academy Awards.
