Storyline
Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra
Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission,
with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his
last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk,
disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky
completely alone--tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out
into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any
link to Earth...and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every
gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way
home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.
