Synopsis: An imposing black structure provides a connection between the past and the future in this enigmatic adaptation of a short story by revered sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke. When Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship's computer system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time.

The 1968 flick begs questions on about computer artificial intelligence and whether humans should grant so much control to something that doesn't understand the fundamental thought process of mankind. Stanley Kubric's version of the Arthur C. Clarke story is a timeless drama/horror set in space. Billed as the number one space thriller of all time you can see it again on Tuesday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $13.50 in advance.
