Jindrich Polák's pioneering and much-imitated feature "Ikarie XB 1" is one of the cornerstones of contemporary sci-fi cinema. It predates "Star Trek" and Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" and was clearly an influence on both, as well as on almost every other science-fiction work that followed.

Adapted from Stanislaw Lem's 1955 novel "The Magellanic Cloud", the film is set in 2163 and follows a mission deep into space in search of alien life. During their perilous journey the crew confront the effects of a malignant dark star, the destructive legacy of the 20th century and, ultimately, the limits of their own sanity. With outstanding design and cinematography, "Ikarie XB 1" is imbued with a seriousness, intelligence and attention to detail rarely seen in science-fiction cinema of the period. (Verlagstext)
