Gattaca (Film)

Does a person’s worth depend on their DNA? In a world shaped by control, genetic perfection, and biological selection, Vincent Freeman tries to make his dream come true despite his “imperfect” genes. He wants to pursue a career in the space program. To do so, he eventually assumes the identity of a genetically superior man. But hiding his true identity becomes increasingly difficult. He risks being exposed and losing everything.

Featuring an outstanding cast including Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law, ›Gattaca‹ combines classic science fiction with an unusually quiet, contemplative atmosphere. It raises questions that are as relevant as ever: Can our lives be fully measured and predicted through technology? And where do the ethical boundaries of scientific progress lie?
