English Summary:

Gattaca is a 1997 American science fiction film written and directed by Andrew Niccol. It stars Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, with Jude Law, Loren Dean, Ernest Borgnine, Gore Vidal, and Alan Arkin appearing in supporting roles. The film presents a biopunk vision of a future society driven by eugenics where potential children are conceived through genetic selection to ensure they possess the best hereditary traits of their parents. The film centers on Vincent Freeman, played by Hawke, who was conceived outside the eugenics program and struggles to overcome genetic discrimination to realize his dream of going into space.

The film draws on concerns over reproductive technologies that facilitate eugenics, and the possible consequences of such technological developments for society. It also explores the idea of destiny and the ways in which it can and does govern lives. Characters in Gattaca continually battle both with society and with themselves to find their place in the world and who they are destined to be according to their genes.

The film's title is based on the letters G, A, T, and C, which stand for guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine, the four nucleobases of DNA. It was a 1997 nominee for the Academy Award for Best Art Direction and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score.

The film flopped at the box office, but it received generally positive reviews and has since gained a cult following.

 

Hungarian Summary:

Végre itt a tökéletes világ, ahol a gyerekek génsebészeti úton jönnek létre, és így mindegyikük előre megtervezett, hibátlan példány. Van azonban még néhány természetes körülmények között fogant egyed is. Ők a társadalom számkivetettjei.
 
Vincent Freeman élete sem kémcsőben kezdődött, ő mégsem adja fel álmát, hogy egy nap űrhajós lesz. Ennek elérésére a genetikai elit egy tagjának személyazonosságát ölti magára és azonnal megkezdheti az űrhajóskiképzést Gattacában.
Ekkor kezd csak beindulni az élete. Öszszeismerkedik egy lánnyal is.
Azonban gyilkosság történik Gattacában. A nagy erőkkel meginduló nyomozás őt is leleplezheti, hiszen a nyomok arra utalnak, hogy egy "tökéletlen" emberi lény volt a tettes.
 
A két főszereplő, Ethan Hawke (Szép remények, Holt költők társasága, Életben maradtak) és Uma Thurman (Bosszúállók, Batman és Robin, Ponyvaregény) között a film forgatása során szerelem szövődött. Azóta összeházasodtak, néhány hónapja pedig megszületett első gyermekük is - természetes úton.
