Released in 1968, Stanley Kubrick's science-fiction masterpiece took viewers on a revolutionary trip into space that redefined the art of visual effects and inspired decades of debate about its hidden meanings and secrets. The story of two human astronauts and one intelligent computer, HAL, confronted with the next step of alien-influenced evolution has gone on to inspire generations of filmmakers including George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott and Christopher Nolan. Now with rarities from the Margaret Herrick Library and the Academy Film Archive, let's take a look at the creation of one of the all-time essential big screen experiences.
