At first, only a few things are known about the celestial artifact that astronomers dub 'Rama.' It is huge. It weighs more than ten trillion tons. And it is hurtling through the solar system at an inconceivable speed. Then a space probe confirms the unthinkable: Rama is no natural object. It is, incredibly, an interstellar spacecraft. Impervious to attempts at communication, a manned ship, the Endeavor, undertakes a rendezvous. Space explorers and planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence. It will kindle their wildest dreams and fan their darkest fears. For no one knows what Rama is or why it has come. And now the moment of discovery awaits... Morgan Freeman plays Endeavor's Commander, who leads his crew on an exploration into the spacecraft's vast interior, an evolving organic world that staggers the mind. Intrigued by what they see, and more importantly, by what they don't see, the Commander is driven by a passion for the truth, willing to risk everything to unveil the stunning mystery at the heart of Rama. Based on the acclaimed novel by science fiction visionary Arthur C. Clarke -- author of 2001: A Space Odyssey -- Rendezvous with Rama weaves politics, religion, science and suspense together with an epic scope and daring humanity. The result is a breathtakingly taut and intelligent film that will push the boundaries of cinema and imagination, exploring the outermost in our solar system in order to discover the innermost in our selves.
