Fifty years from now the sun begins to dim, along with humankind’s hope for the future. Although the encroaching darkness seems unstoppable, scientists have concocted a desperate, last-ditch plan. It’s up to a crew of eight astronauts to reach the dying star and reignite the fire that will bring life back to Earth. But when the crew loses radio contact with mission control, the plan seems doomed. On this crucial space mission, the men and women are not only struggling for their lives but for their sanity.

Sunshine was screened by the RiAus Film Club, which regularly shows films with science and culture themes ranging from classics to moderns; features and documentaries; science-fiction and science-fact; and utopian/dystopian futures.
