Gattaca (1997)

Movie

In the not-too-distant future, Gattaca presents a chillingly plausible vision of a world where genetic engineering has become the norm. Set in a society where the genetic makeup of every individual is meticulously monitored and controlled, the film tells the story of Vincent Freeman, a "invalid" who was born naturally, without the benefit of genetic engineering. Vincent's existence is a constant struggle, as he is forced to live on the fringes of society, unable to pursue his dreams or achieve his full potential. As Vincent navigates this treacherous landscape, he becomes embroiled in a complex web of intrigue and deception, as he attempts to uncover the truth about his own past and the secrets that threaten to destroy his future. With its thought-provoking themes and groundbreaking special effects, Gattaca is a gripping and unsettling exploration of what it means to be human, and the consequences of playing God with our own biology.
