Director Stanley Kubrick created the masterpiece film "2001: A Space Odyssey" 1968. Among the influences for the film are Arthur C. Clarke's "The Sentinel" 1951, "Universe" 1960 the documentary from the National Film Board of Canada and the 1964 New York World's Fair movie "To the Moon and Beyond".
Mr. Kubrick assembled a stellar group of people and took several years to make this exceptional movie. The film has inspired filmmakers and been a significant force as reflected in subsequent movies. There is a discovery on the moon of an alien monolith and Dr. Heywood Floyd played by William Sylvester must direct a space journey to Jupiter led by Dr. David Bowman played by Keir Dullea and including Gary Lockwood as Dr. Frank Poole, other crew and super computer HAL 9000. An alien monolith from millions of years earlier changed the course of human development. As with art and music each person watching this movie will draw a conclusion about the monolith's effect on our future.
