In a near-future in which eugenics has become commonplace, social class has come to be defined along genetic lines, forcing 'in-valid' Vincent Freeman (Ethan Hawke) to assume a 'valid' identity to fulfil his dream of becoming an astronaut. Topped by its elegant visual style and Michael Nyman's rapturous score, Andrew Niccol's directorial début remains as thought-provoking today as it was on its release.
** Advance tickets are available to purchase on-line until 4 hours before the start of the film. If advance tickets are "sold out" please note that we always keep back 20 tickets to sell on the door. Early arrival is advised, the doors open 30 mins before the film starts.
