Synopsis

Nine years after the Discovery mission to Jupiter, a joint Soviet-American crew aboard the Leonov attempts to salvage the ship and investigate the alien monolith among Jupiter's moons. Heywood Floyd encounters the transformed Dave Bowman, while the reactivated HAL 9000 warns the crew before the monolith changes the solar system.
