| Rendezvous With Rama
Based on the acclaimed novel by science fiction visionary Arthur C. Clarke – author of 2001: A Space Odyssey – Rendezvous with Rama weaves politics, religion, science and suspense with an epic scope and daring humanity. The result is a breathtakingly taut and intelligent film that pushes the boundaries of cinema and imagination, exploring the outermost in our solar system in order to discover the innermost in ourselves.
At first, only a few things are known about the celestial artifact that astronomers dub ‘Rama.’ It is huge. It weighs more than ten trillion tons. And it’s hurtling through the solar system at an inconceivable speed. Then a space probe confirms the unthinkable: Rama is no natural object. It is, incredibly, an interstellar spacecraft. But Rama is impervious to attempts at communication, so Earth orders a manned, deep space maintenance ship, the Endeavor, to undertake a rendezvous. It will kindle the crew’s wildest dreams and fan their darkest fears. For no one knows what Rama is or why it has come. And now the moment of discovery awaits…
Morgan Freeman plays Endeavor’s Commander, who leads his crew on an exploration into the spacecraft’s singularly unique and vast interior, an evolving world that staggers the mind. Intrigued by what they see, and more importantly, by what they don’t see, the Commander is driven by a passion for the truth, willing to risk everything to unveil the stunning mystery at the heart of Rama.
