Event Horizon made a massive impact when it first landed on cinema screens in 1997. The sci-fi epic directed by Paul W.S. Anderson was a flop at the box office, but has generated a cult following when released on home media. Today Event Horizon is a highly praised film in science fiction circles due to its unique and dark storyline. 2022 marks the film’s 25th anniversary, making it the perfect time to remember Event Horizon and see where the cast is today.
What is Event Horizon about?
Event Horizon follows the crew of the Lewis and Clark, a rescue spaceship that is sent to help the staff of Event Horizon, a ship that mysteriously vanished seven years earlier, only to suddenly reappear near Neptune. When the crew of the Lewis and Clark arrive, they soon learn that things have gone horribly wrong, and that Event Horizon’s experimental gravity drive might be to blame.
