Sunshine + Danny Boyle Q&A

We're delighted to welcome Danny Boyle for a live Q&A following this screening. Part of This Is Searchlight, our season celebrating 30 years of Searchlight Pictures.

In the not-too-distant future, Earth's dying sun spells the end for humanity. As a last-ditch effort to save the planet, a crew of eight men and women venture into space aboard the colossal Icarus II, armed with a nuclear fission device that could rekindle its light.

But their desperate mission is threatened when an accident, a grave mistake, and a distress beacon from a long-lost spaceship throw the crew into disarray.

With a star-laden cast led by Cillian Murphy and a script from his 28 Days Later collaborator Alex Garland, Danny Boyle’s ambitious, awe-inspiring sci-fi thriller pairs profound emotional intelligence with creeping cosmic dread.
