The Wachowski siblings and Tom Tykwer write and direct this drama,
adapted from the novel by David Mitchell, about how every being is
interconnected over the course of many eras. Set in past, present
and future worlds, the film follows six intertwined storylines. In
1849, during the California Gold Rush, lawyer Adam Ewing (Jim
Sturgess), who is suffering from an ailment, meets Dr. Henry Goose
(Tom Hanks) and unwillingly helps to hide slave Autua (David
Gyasi). In 1936, impoverished musician Robert Frobisher (Ben
Whishaw) finds employment with a composer and in time writes a
magnificent piece of his own. In 1975, nuclear physicist Rufus
Sixsmith (James D'Arcy) helps journalist Luisa Rey (Halle Berry)
expose the truth about a new power plant. In 2012, elderly
publisher Timothy Cavendish (Jim Broadbent) finds himself stuck in
a nursing home and tries to escape. In a totalitarian world in the
22nd century, clone Sonmi-451 (Bae Doona) is due to be eliminated
but decides to fight back and stand up for her own kind. Finally,
in a post-apocalyptic Earth, tribe member Zachry (Hanks) helps
Meronym (Berry), a woman from a technologically-advanced society,
on her journey into the mountains in an attempt to find Cloud
Atlas, a station that will allow her to communicate with the people
who have left the planet to live in space. The cast, which also
includes Susan Sarandon, Hugo Weaving and Hugh Grant, appear
throughout a number of the various segments.

Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, this
tense thriller tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named
Evey (Natalie Portman) who is rescued from a life-and-death
situation by a masked man (Hugo Weaving) known only as 'V'.
Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of
combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he urges his
fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey
uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also
discovers the truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely
ally in the culmination of his plan to bring freedom and justice
back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption.
