One of the best films ever is streaming on BBC iPlayer – but you must act fast | Films | Entertainment

Back in 2013, Alfonso Cuarón directed Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in the sci-fi thriller Gravity.

The pair played American astronauts Dr Ryan Stone and Matt Kowalski during a space mission that is destroyed when hit by flying debris.

The duo end up isolated, drifting through space and tethered only to each other.

British company Framestone spent over three years creating most of the movie’s visual effects for over 80 of the 91 minutes of run time.

Met with widespread critical acclaim upon release, Gravity made over $732 million worldwide on a budget of around $100 million.

The film went on to be nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Actress. The film won seven including Best Director for Cuarón and is today considered one of the best movies of the 21st century.

Gravity is streaming now on BBC iPlayer but only for the next eight days.
