A private detective is embroiled gets to the bottom of a robotics company CEO’s mysterious suicide in 2030s Chicago in a sci-fi blockbuster loosely tethered to ideas from Isaac Asimov’s eponymous novel.
In a near-future where eugenics has become the norm, an aspiring astronaut named Vincent (Hawke) is stuck on earth due to the supposed inferiority of his genes. With the help of a “DNA broker” he assumes the identity of a paralyzed athlete (Law) in a bid to join the Gattaca Space Program. But unwanted attention follows, as does a romance with a coworker (Thurman). Andrew Niccol’s feature debut stands out as a Hollywood sci fi thriller of rare intelligence and poetry, having lost little of its power to provoke debate (and discomfort) over the last three decades.
