Fifty years into the future, the sun is dying, and Earth is threatened by arctic temperatures. A team of astronauts is sent to revive the Sun — but the mission fails. Seven years later, a new team is sent to finish the mission as mankind’s last hope.

Why it matters

Boyle's sci-fi thriller about a crew sent to reignite a dying sun, only to find that the sun's power is more than they can handle.
