Synopsis

At the dawn of humanity, in the African desert, a tribe of primates suffers repeated attacks from a rival band, who compete for a watering hole. The discovery of a black monolith inspires the leader of the besieged monkeys to make an unprecedented and decisive gesture. Brandishing a bone, he attacks and massacres his opponents. The first instrument is born. In 2001, four million years later, a spaceship moves in lunar orbit to the languorous rhythm of the “Beautiful Blue Danube”. On board, Dr. Heywood Floyd secretly investigates the discovery of a black monolith which emits strange signals towards Jupiter. Eighteen months later, astronauts David Bowman and Frank Poole set off for Jupiter aboard Discovery. The two men calmly go about their daily tasks under the control of HAL 9000, an exceptional computer endowed with intelligence and speech. However, HAL, undoubtedly more human than his masters, begins to show signs of worry: what is the point of this mission and what are we likely to discover on Jupiter?
