Description:
In a dystopian near future where society values genetic purity above all else, Vincent Santoro (played by Ethan Hawke) is a "Invalid" born of natural conception in a world dominated by genetically engineered individuals. He harbors an insatiable desire to journey into space, and so he embarks on an audacious plan: assuming the identity of Jerome Morrow (Uma Thurman's character), a high-ranking member of the prestigious Gattaca Aerospace Corporation whose genetic makeup is impeccable. With meticulous planning and unwavering determination, Vincent infiltrates the corporation while navigating a labyrinth of deception and lies to fulfill his dream of reaching the cosmos. The film explores themes of identity, ambition, and the consequences of our pursuit of perfection amidst an oppressively controlled society where human agency seems almost extinct.
