A genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel. Starring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and Jude Law, Gattaca was nominated for the 1997 Academy Award for Best Art Direction. In a review for Nature Genetics, molecular biologist Lee M Silver stated that “Gattaca is a film that all geneticists should see if for no other reason than to understand the perception of our trade held by so many of the public-at-large,” while Roger Ebert said “this is one of the smartest and most provocative of science fiction films, a thriller with ideas.”
