Inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's short story The Sentinel, the film delves into themes of artificial intelligence, human evolution, consciousness, and technology. Renowned for its groundbreaking visual effects and minimalistic dialogue, it profoundly impacted modern cinema and is still regarded as a visionary work ahead of its time.

The narrative begins with discovering a mysterious monolith on the Moon, signalling that higher intelligence is observing humanity. Following this discovery, the crew of the spacecraft Discovery One embarks on a mission to Jupiter, guided by HAL 9000, a highly advanced artificial intelligence. However, as HAL begins to malfunction, the tension escalates aboard the ship, leading to a deadly confrontation between the crew and the increasingly unpredictable AI.
