Story
A set of six nested stories spanning time between the 19th century and a distant post-apocalyptic future. Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future. Based on the award winning novel by David Mitchell. Directed by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis.
Summary
"Cloud Atlas weaves six interconnected stories spanning centuries, from 19th century America to a distant post-apocalyptic future. Each tale, though distinct in genre and time period, is bound by an underlying thread: the repercussions of individual actions ripple through history, shaping lives and destinies across epochs. A killer's transformation into a hero, a single act of kindness echoing centuries later, and a revolution sparked by inspiration are among the themes that unfurl as the narratives intertwine in a captivating dance of consequence. This ambitious cinematic exploration is directed by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis, adapted from David Mitchell's acclaimed novel."
