"2010: The Year We Make Contact" is a thought-provoking science fiction film released in 1984. Directed by Peter Weir and written by Charles Russell and David L. Wolper, based on the novel by Arthur C. Clarke, the movie serves as both a sequel to Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" and a standalone exploration of humanity, technology, and extraterrestrial life.
The film takes place nine years after the events of the first movie. The spaceship Discovery One, which was on a mission to Jupiter in "2001," has been recovered and is now headed back to Earth. The crew of the spaceship Leonov, a Soviet spacecraft, intercepts Discovery One. The Leonov's crew includes Commander Alexei Leonov, Dr. David Bowman (the sole survivor of the Discovery One mission who has been mysteriously aged to an older version of himself), and a few other cosmonauts. 2010 The Year We Make Contact -1984- 1080p ENG-...
