The thriller received nearly universal acclaim after showings at the Venice International Film Festival and Telluride Film Festival before its release on October 4, 2013.
In "Gravity," Clooney stars as Matt Kowalski, a veteran astronaut commanding his final mission before retirement.

Everything changes when their ship is hit by debris from a satellite.
Dr. Ryan Stone is sent off into space, alone, drifting further and further from the ship. Matt Kowalsi is tasked with not only locating and finding Dr. Stone, but keeping her calm so she can help him find her in the vast expanses of space. Things only get worse when their connection to Mission Control is severed, leaving them with few hopes of survival.
