Synopsis

In the year 2163, a band of astronauts embarks on a fifteen-year voyage deep into outer space, in hopes of discovering life in another galaxy. On their journey, they run into unexpected troubles: encounters with abandoned alien craft, malfunctioning onboard computers and tensions among its crew.

MUBI's take

Adapted from a novel by Stanisław Lem, this groundbreaking celestial adventure is one of the key works of contemporary science fiction. Pre-dating—and influencing—Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, Ikarie XB 1 raised the bar for special effects and remains a true one-off in the annals of Czech cinema.
