2001: A Space Odyssey
From the discovery of a mysterious black monolith among prehistoric apes to a lunar excavation that uncovers another, buried and broadcasting toward Jupiter, humanity follows a trail it doesn't understand toward a destination it can't imagine. Aboard the spacecraft Discovery One, astronauts Dave Bowman and Frank Poole share their mission with HAL 9000, an artificial intelligence of perfect, calm confidence — until HAL begins making decisions of its own.
A Clockwork Orange
In a brutalist near-future Britain, charismatic delinquent Alex DeLarge leads his droogs through nights of 'ultra-violence' — until the state captures him and volunteers him for an experimental treatment that removes his ability to choose evil, and with it, his ability to choose at all.
Star Wars
A farm boy on a desert planet intercepts a distress call hidden in a droid, and is swept into a galactic rebellion alongside a cynical smuggler, a fugitive princess and the last of an ancient order of knights — with a moon-sized battle station waiting at the end of the run.
Alien
The commercial towing vessel Nostromo, hauling ore between stars, is diverted by company order to investigate a signal from a dead world. What the crew brings back aboard has a life cycle perfectly designed to use them — and their employer knew.
Blade Runner
Los Angeles, 2019: perpetual rain, perpetual night, perpetual advertising. Burned-out cop Rick Deckard is forced back to work hunting four escaped replicants — bioengineered humans with four-year lifespans who have come to Earth to meet their maker and demand more life.
Back to the Future
Teenager Marty McFly is accidentally blasted from 1985 to 1955 in a time machine his friend Doc Brown built out of a DeLorean. Stranded with no plutonium, he derails his own parents' first meeting — and has one week to make his father fall in love with his mother, or he'll never be born.
Aliens
Ellen Ripley, sole survivor of the Nostromo, is found drifting after 57 years in hypersleep — and nobody believes her story. When contact is lost with a colony on the very world where her crew found the derelict ship, she returns with a unit of cocky Colonial Marines. This time it isn't one alien.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Two terminators arrive in Los Angeles: a reprogrammed T-800 sent to protect ten-year-old John Connor, and the T-1000 — a liquid-metal prototype that can look like anyone — sent to kill him. With Sarah Connor institutionalized for telling the truth, the future's only hope is a boy, his mother, and the machine that once hunted her.
