The short sci-fi drama "Master of Science Fiction" tells us six thrilling epic stories with a star-studded cast of directors and actors. These stories not only contain the characteristics of the most popular schools of science fiction, but also are closely related to the development of human society, which is thought-provoking and thought-provoking. This play is personally supervised by Professor Stephen Hawking, who is regarded as a supernova in the field of human physics in the 20th century and the author of A Brief History of Time, and is explained by Hawking. However, Hawking lost his ability to speak at 1985. Fortunately, with the development of science and technology, he finally re-expressed his thoughts with the help of computers and language synthesizers. Hawking's "voice" that we heard in this play was made by a language synthesizer. The first episode, A Clean Escape Escapes, is based on the short story of John kessel, the winner of the Xingyun Award, directed by mark rydell (On the Golden Pond, The River, The Rose) and written by Sam Egan (Beyond the Limit). The story takes place in the post-apocalyptic era. The psychiatrist Dr. Diana Evans (Judy Davis) doesn't believe that his patient Robert Havelman (sam waterston) has lost the memory of the past 25 years. Why doesn't he remember? Why is Diana Evans so eager to uncover the secret under his appearance? The final answer is quite shocking.
The second episode, Awakening Awakening, starring Terry O'Quinn and elisabeth rohm, is based on the short stories (Spartacus and Citizen Tom Paine) written by Howard Fast, the author of Hollywood Blacklist. The story happened outside Baghdad, and a group of American soldiers found a strange wounded person in the fierce battle-they were not even sure if this person was human. Soon, more such creatures appeared in every corner of the earth and began to communicate with each other. Should humans live in peace with them, or should they destroy each other? William B. Davis (played by X-Files "Smoker" and Stargate SG- 1 Ori missionary) plays the President of the United States in Friendship.
The third episode "Jerry is a man/Jerry is a man" stars anne heche and malcolm mcdowell. The story takes place in the future. Mr. and Mrs. Bronson Van vogel are the seventh richest people in the world. Van vogel and his wife only know how to eat, drink and be merry all day, and all the dangerous work and chores at home are handled by apes. This anthropoid ape, collectively known as "Joe", was implanted with some human genes, and after plastic surgery, it possessed human facial features. Somehow, a "Joe" named Jerry aroused the sympathy of Mrs. Van vogel. What the hell is Jerry? Are you alone?
The fourth episode "The Abandoned Space Prodigal Son" is adapted from the short story of Harlan Ellison, a famous science fiction master who won Hugo Award seven times and nebula Award three times. It was written by Harlan Ellison himself, directed by jonathan frakes (Star Trek) and starring Brian.Dennehy, john hurt and jamie denton. The story tells that some people were exiled to outer space permanently, and these people were forced to sign unequal treaties with those who exiled them, hoping to finally return to the earth for refuge.
The fifth episode of Little Brother takes place in the future, and we will see a court without human judges and juries. All legal procedures are controlled and judged by fully automatic machines-this thing integrates trial, jury and execution, and has the power to kill and detain. The convicted Fredon must try to prove his innocence to this machine, or take other measures to save his life before the deadline comes.
The sixth episode "Watchman" takes place in the near future, and human beings have to take new measures to combat the high crime rate-they have created a flying robot to prevent possible murders. At first, this method seems to be very effective, but it didn't take long for people to find that the boundary between life and death is gradually blurred ... This story leads to the most serious topic of our time: can human freedom be sacrificed if the banner of "security" or "self-defense" is used? 2. "Day One" Tomorrow Crisis/Day One
Distribution company: NBC
A global catastrophe destroyed most of the buildings on the surface of the earth, and human society collapsed instantly. Although a few survivors survived, they had to face a devastated world.
The story begins with the great destruction. Survivors, played by adam campbell, Catherine Dent, Julie Gonzalo, david lyons, Derek Mio, carly pope, Thekla Reuten and addison timlin, gathered in an apartment building in California from all directions to try to rebuild a human community. At the same time, they have to solve the mystery of destruction and face an uncertain future.
Heroes are born every day, but what will happen to the world?
As mentioned above, the story of The First Day took place in a duplex apartment building, where the aborigines left for various "accidental" reasons, and most of them didn't even know that someone else had moved in. A woman named Lynn seems to be behind all this ... she knows what will happen, and she has found a group of people (the protagonist of this play) to live in this apartment building. Most importantly, she thinks these people are the right people to "save the world" because ... in the first episode ... the earth was invaded by aliens! However, when the huge meteor shower fell from the sky, she looked "completely unprepared" and said to herself crazily, "No, no, no, this is not the first day ..."
At present, the residents of the apartment building are:
-Kelly McGregor (Julie Gonzalo), doctor.
Sam Brody (david lyons), a former marine.
-Addison J. Timlin, highly educated, very beautiful, looks like a college student.
-Johnny Nozer (Derek Mio), racing driver, Hunter's boyfriend.
-Bonnie Casey (carly pope) and Zach adamski (adam campbell), otaku and otaku, computer programmers.
-Hunter's mother Jennifer (Catherine Dent) and father Clark (xander berkeley)
Sam works in a bank in a shopping mall. Before the end, the bank was robbed and Sam's best friend was involved. Sam was shot in the chaos, but the mysterious woman Lynn touched Sam's chest and Sam came back to life. ...
Meteor showers fell from the sky, and panicked people became crazy. Some unimportant characters died one after another, and there were explosions and fires everywhere. Lynne called this group of people together and said that they were the only hope to save the earth.
According to the scriptwriter's comments on the script, there will be coral appearance, crystal shape, salt-like particles, 4,600-foot-high giant alien objects and rooms that can be used for living. I don't know how much money was invested in this play, but NBC executives are not fools. Are they willing to risk so many special effects? It's really doubtful. 3. The flash-forward.
Issuing company: ABC
The flash-forward is the famous Canadian writer Robert? 6? 1J？ 6? 1 A sci-fi work published by Sawyer in 1999. This work is set in the future.
In 2009, the European Commission for Nuclear Research is conducting an experiment to find the Higgs boson using the Large Hadron Collider. Unexpectedly, this experiment produced a strange accident: at the moment when the collider started, all human beings on earth lost consciousness for 2 minutes, 17 seconds. This strange phenomenon is called "flash-forward". In these two minutes 17 seconds, about 40 million people died in a series of accidents, such as plane crash, car collision, falling off a building and accidental drowning. This rare "collective dizziness of people all over the world" is not an accident. Everyone "experiences" the future life through their future selves. This "future" is not a random "future", but accurate to 8: 00 pm on April 20, 20 10. It has been five months since the "flash-forward" event. After the "flash-forward" incident, it seems that nothing has changed in human society ... Is this really the case? No-people are usually confused about the "future" they see. The FBI has set up a special agency to investigate the "flash-forward" incident, looking for patterns and answers from people's stories of "20 10, 8 pm on April 20". These visions are strange-for example, Apple unveiled its new operating system "Lion OS XI" for the first time, the Dow Jones index hit a new high, and so on. To some extent, the "future" people see is enough to change their current life trajectory. In the confusion of people, a chaos broke out.
