Movie Evening: Gattaca

In the not-too-distant future, a less-than-perfect man wants to travel

to the stars. Society has categorized Vincent Freeman as less than

suitable given his genetic make-up and he has become one of the

underclass of humans that are only useful for menial jobs. To move

ahead, he assumes the identity of Jerome Morrow, a perfect genetic

specimen who is a paraplegic as a result of a car accident. With

professional advice, Vincent learns to deceive DNA and urine sample

testing. Just when he is finally scheduled for a space mission, his

program director is killed and the police begin an investigation,

jeopardizing his secret.
