Brief summary of the film. [91/100]

Critical essay by Robert Castle.

A review of Leonard F. Wheat's book on a triple allegory in 2001, a movie that "tells three hidden stories: Homer's The Odyssey; a spoofy tale based on science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke's idea of man-machine symbiosis; and Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra."

Commentary and analysis from film critic Roger Ebert. "The genius is not in how much Stanley Kubrick does in '2001: A Space Odyssey,' but in how little."
