(Stanley Kubrick, US/UK 1968, 138 min., 35mm)

The story of man’s technological progress is told in a breathtaking series of sequences that takes us from a prehistoric encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence, to a showdown with supercomputer H.A.L. 9000, to a dazzling journey in unexplored outer space. Bold, cerebral, and ultimately moving, 2001 demands to be seen on a big screen. The Dryden’s newly installed sound system will provide the perfect venue to hear this classic’s brilliant sound design and eclectic music score.
