Cloud Atlas
DramaMysterySci-FiThriller172 min
Across six interlocking stories—from an 1850s Pacific voyage to a dystopian Korea of the near future and a distant post-apocalyptic world—individual choices keep echoing across time. Tom Hanks and Halle Berry are among the ensemble members who recur in multiple roles, with faces, relationships, and consequences surfacing in different eras. The film threads together murder, conspiracy, romance, escape, and rebellion, moving between period drama, modern mystery, and speculative sci-fi as separate lives begin to mirror one another. Directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski with Tom Tykwer, it treats history less as a straight line than a chain of linked human acts.
