SYNOPSIS:

Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (Clooney) in command. But on a seemingly routine mission, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone—tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the darkness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. Ultimately, the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

- Introduction to Gravity: Silent Space

- Gravity: Silent Space NEW! - Director Alfonso Cuarón invites you to experience the film without music for a unique, surprising and rewarding cinematic experiment.

- Looking to the Stars: The Evolution of Space Films NEW! - For more than 100 years, filmmakers have been fascinated with the stars. This look back at the evolution of the depiction of space travel in film through the eyes of many of the artists responsible (including Alfonso Cuarón, Ron Howard, Joe Dante, Dennis Muren, John Dykstra and others) chronicles the memorable milestones and visual achievements that have defined a genre and entertained generations of audiences.

- Sandra’s Birthday Wish NEW! - Share in Sandra Bullock’s spaced-out birthday wishes for director Alfonso Cuarón.

- Gravity: The Human Experience (Previously Limited Availability) When Alfonso and Jonás Cuarón set out to tell a singular human story, the romance and mysticism of separating oneself from Earth was added into the mix and "Gravity" was conceived. Join as the filmmakers, along with former astronauts, author of “Packing for Mars” Mary Roach and others weigh in on the physical and emotional aspects of space exploration.

“Gravity shows us the glory of cinema’s future. It thrills on so many levels. And because Cuarón is a movie visionary of the highest order, you truly can’t beat the view.” Time, Richard Corliss
