Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant engineer on her first shuttle mission with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney). On a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone, tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the darkness. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left.
The only way home may be to go farther out into the terrifying expanse of space. But the same space debris that demolished the shuttle has affected the International Space Station too, and escape seems less and less likely. And when Kowalski has to sacrifice himself to give Stone a chance at survival, Stone begins to wonder if she should simply give up... Visually stunning and powerfully suspenseful, this is a heartwrenching story of determination and hope.
"Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity, about astronauts coping with disaster, is a huge and technically dazzling film....For long stretches, Cuarón trusts Bullock to give us a one-woman show, and she delivers." — Roger Ebert
