Sci-Fi

What is Sunshine about?

Fifty years from now, the sun is dying, and mankind is dying with it. Our last hope: a spaceship and a crew of eight men and women. They carry a device which will breathe new life into the star. But deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission is starting to unravel. There is an accident, a fatal mistake, and a distress beacon from a spaceship that disappeared seven years earlier.... Full synopsis »

Director Danny Boyle has taken on druggies (Trainspotting), beautiful beaches (The Beach), the living dead (28 Days Later) and creepy, psycho children (Millions, which I didn't like but other critics did), and now he has taken on another realm altogether, that of the sci-fi thriller.
