Synopsis
At the dawn of man, a primitive tribe lives by hunting and gathering in a desert. The tribe discovers a black monolith, which is approached and examined. After the discovery, one of them scavenges a bone from a pile and uses it as a club, discovering the first tool. This tool is used to hunt, and eventually as a weapon to kill a member of a rival tribe.Millions of years later, a space shuttle carries a scientist, Dr. Floyd, to a space station orbiting earth. He is headed to an excavation on the moon where moonbase engineers have discovered a monolith. After arrival, he and a team of moonbase engineers approach the monolith, which emits a sharp high-pitched sound as the sun shines on it.
Six months later, a spaceship is headed to Jupiter. Five scientists are aboard, none of whom know the purpose of their mission. The ship is controlled by an artificially intelligent supercomputer, HAL, which is treated as a sixth member of the crew by the other five. During the trip, HAL claims to detect an impending hardware failure in the ship's communications system. Two scientists, Dave Bowman and Frank Poole, replace the component, but find no fault in it. They are concerned about HAL's reliability, so they meet in secret and agree that if the component does not fail, they will disconnect HAL. HAL secretly reads their lips.
Poole leaves the ship to restore the original communications component as planned, but HAL takes control of an empty pod and slams it into Poole, killing him. Bowman exits the ship in an attempt to rescue Poole. While he is outside, HAL cuts off life support in the ship, killing the other three scientists. When Bowman returns to the ship, HAL refuses to open the bay doors, asserting that he cannot allow Bowman to endanger the mission by deactivating him. Bowman then uses explosive bolts on the pod's hatch to propel him into the ship's airlock, and closes it before he is exposed to the vacuum for too long.
Inside the ship, Bowman disconnects HAL. Afterwards, a video briefing plays, revealing the nature of the mission. The monolith that was discovered at the moonbase had sent a radio transmission to Jupiter. Another monolith was orbiting Jupiter, and the purpose of the mission is to investigate it. When the ship orbits Jupiter, the planets, the moons, and the monoliths align. Bowman travels across space and time, passing through tunnels of light and sound, crossing an alien landscape. He then arrives in an ornate hermetic room, where he finds himself rapidly aging. He then finds himself lying on his deathbed, at the foot of another monolith. He then transforms into being that resembles a fetus encased in an orb of light. This being then orbits the earth, and gazes down at it.
