In the year 2047, a signal from the starship Event Horizon is received on Earth. The ship disappeared beyond Neptune in 2040; her loss was considered the worst recorded space disaster. The ship has reappeared in a decaying orbit around Neptune, and the rescue ship Lewis and Clark is dispatched. The ship is commanded by Captain Miller (Laurence Fishburne) and carries the Event Horizon’s designer, Doctor William Weir (Sam Neill).
When the Lewis and Clark arrives, Dr. Weir briefs the crew that the Event Horizon was built to test an experimental gravity drive. In layman’s terms, the drive would create an artificial black hole, and would use that power to bridge two points in spacetime to reduce journey time. The ship was on its initial test flight, intended to reach Proxima Centauri; it subsequently vanished. Weir plays the only signal received since the ship’s reappearance, spoken by Captain Kilpack: a series of confusing screams and shouts embedded in which is thought to be the Latin phrase liberate me (“save me”).
Approaching the drifting vessel, no definitive trace of human life is found; inconclusive sensor readings lead the Lewis and Clark’s crew to enter the Event Horizon to search for survivors. The crew split up and Peters (Kathleen Quinlan) discovers a frozen human corpse floating on the bridge, with both eyes gouged out. Engineer Justin (Jack Noseworthy) enters the ship’s engineering section which hosts the gravity drive’s core and sees a black, liquid-like mirror within its drive. It sucks him inside and emits a shockwave, damaging the Lewis and Clark. Rescue Tech Cooper (Richard T. Jones) pulls Justin from the core by his tether, but he is catatonic. Read more
