Based on Andy Weir’s (The Martian) novel of the same name, and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), Project Hail Mary is an exhilarating space adventure starring Academy Award nominees Ryan Gosling (Barbie) and Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall).

Ryland Grace (Gosling), a school teacher-turned-astronaut, wakes up from a coma, alone, on a space station with no recollection of who he is or his mission. His memory returns in bursts, and he pieces together that he was sent to the Tau Ceti solar system, 12 light-years from Earth, to reverse the impact of a space event that had already hurled our planet into the early stages of an Ice Age. As details of the mission unravel, Grace must call on all of his scientific training and sheer ingenuity, but he might not have to do it alone…

After the March 21, 1:05 screening, Pace University professor and writer Dana Jaye Cadman will lead an informal conversation upstairs in Take 3 Wine Bar & Café about how science fiction writers build imaginative worlds and characters that bring science fiction stories to life.

On March 22 at 4:30, Hudson River Museum Director and CEO Masha Turchinsky will do an introduction. Following the screening, Marc Taylor, Senior Manager of Planetarium and Science Programs, will lead a discussion upstairs in Take 3 Wine Bar & Café exploring the science behind the story.
