The Official Marvel Comics Adaptation of the Spectacular New Movie! 2010 {The Year We Make Contact}
2010 (also known as 2010: The Year We Make Contact) is a 1984 American science fiction film written and directed by Peter Hyams. It is a sequel to Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, and is based on Arthur C. Clarke's novel 2010: Odyssey Two. Roy Scheider, Helen Mirren, Bob Balaban and John Lithgow star, along with Keir Dullea and Douglas Rain of the cast of the previous film.
In this sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey, a joint American - Soviet expedition is sent to Jupiter to discover what went wrong with the U.S.S. Discovery against a backdrop of growing global tensions. Among the mysteries the expedition must explain are the appearance of a huge black monolith in Jupiter's orbit and the fate of H.A.L., the Discovery's sentient computer.
Story/Spoilers:
In issue #1, World tension has been escalating in the years following the tragic Discovery mission (the focal point of 2001, A Space Odyssey). The Americans and the Russians are both building ships to travel to the derelict Discovery in order to learn the secrets of what truly happened. Ironically, Discovery will fall out of orbit before the American spaceship is ready, but the Russians, whose craft is nearing completion, don’t have the expertise to reactivate H.A.L. (Discovery’s intelligent computer). The Russians reluctantly decide to allow the American scientists to join them on their journey. As the world they leave behind teeters ever closer to the brink of nuclear war, the scientists uncover signs of life on one of Jupiter’s moons. They soon find themselves part of a cosmic drama which will profoundly transform humanity…and let us know that we are not alone in the universe.
Finally in issue #2, Part II: In Jupiter Space, the Russian research ship, Leonov, linked with the U>S>S> Discovery, is attempting to unravel the mysterious failure of the first manned mission to Jupiter 9 years ago. Astronaut Dave Bowman's last message, "...the monolith... it's full of stars..."
