...subtitles and scene access. 2010 isn't so much the year we make contact as the year the Space Odyssey story continues. After the USS Discovery spaceship was lost near Jupiter with its computer malfunctioned and its crew missing or dead, a joint US-USSR mission is sent out to discover what happened.

The film picks up where 2001 left off with the spaceship Discovery in deteriorating orbit around Jupiter. Back on Earth a mission is planned to rescue the sticken ship and reactivate HAL ...
...Heywood Floyd (Rob Schneider - Jaws) heads up the American contingent and due to circumstances beytond his control are teamed up with a Russian crew on the Leonov and their captain played by Helen Mirren. A race against time and a rival Chinese crew adds to the tension. Can HAL be reactivated and bring the ship home?
