IMAX SCHOOL FILM SYNOPSIS SPACE STATION 3D

“Very few people can actually say they’ve been in space. But those who have been there - astronauts and cosmonauts – have said that IMAX is the next best thing to being there.” -Toni Myers, Producer, SPACE STATION 3D

As astoundingly beautiful as it is technically dazzling, SPACE STATION 3D is the ﬁ rst-ever IMAX 3D space ﬁ lm. Audiences will travel 350km above Earth at 28,000km per hour to experience SPACE STATION 3D—the greatest engineering feat since landing a man on the Moon.

Narrated by Tom Cruise, SPACE STATION 3D is the story of this unique partnership of 16 nations building a laboratory in outer space--a permanent facility for the study of the effects of long- duration exposure to zero gravity and the necessary ﬁ rst step towards the global co-operative effort needed if man is to someday set foot on Mars. The new IMAX ﬁ lm documents life aboard humanity’s new home-away-from-home. SPACE STATION 3D chronicles the challenges, setbacks and triumphs…and ultimately, the shared international victory of men and women whose dreams exceed the limits of life on this Earth.

Produced by IMAX and sponsored by Lockheed Martin, in co-operation with the NASA, SPACE STATION 3D builds on the IMAX-Lockheed Martin-NASA heritage that began almost 20 years ago and has now produced ﬁ ve major large-format IMAX ﬁ lms such as The Dream Is Alive, Blue Planet, Destiny In Space and Mission To MIR that have been seen by 70 million moviegoers around the world.

SPACE STATION 3D is the ﬁ rst cinematic journey to the International Space Station (ISS), where audiences can experience for themselves life in zero gravity aboard the new Station. Transported by the magic of the IMAX® 3D technology, the audience blasts off into space with the astronauts and cosmonauts from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center and Russia’s Baikonur Cosmodrome to rendezvous with their new home in orbit 350km above Earth.

Now people of every age and language can work side by side with their space-walking crewmates, building and inhabiting this unprecedented structure in space.
