2001: A Space Odyssey
enlargeLet the awe and mystery of a journey unlike any other begin.
Aboard the Discovery, we are introduced to Astronauts Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood). They sit in boredom on their lengthy mission and perform their daily duties with the assistance of the talking supercomputer HAL 9000 (Douglas Rain). Through the use of news broadcasts that the astronauts view, we are informed that the HAL 9000 is the most complex computer ever devised: “he” thinks, controls the ship, plays chess like a master and has never made a single mistake. When HAL incorrectly predicts that a component on the ship will fail, causing an unnecessary and dangerous spacewalk for Poole, it seems clear to the astronauts that something is wrong with HAL.
