Jim is forced to spacewalk and vent the plasma from outside, using the manual controls in the vent tube. They replace the damaged module, but when the computer attempts to vent the reactor to extinguish a runaway plasma reaction, the exterior vent fails. The computer module administering the ship's fusion reactor power plant has been critically damaged, causing the cascading malfunctions as the other systems' computing power was diverted in an attempt to maintain it. Jim and Aurora find hull breaches from the asteroid collision two years earlier.

Before dying, Gus gives Jim and Aurora his ID badge and employee code to access crew-only areas, so he and Aurora can try to repair the ship. Gus attributes it to his hibernation pod's multiple failures.

When Gus falls critically ill, the ship's automated medical suite, the Autodoc, diagnoses pansystemic necrosis and gives him hours to live. Gus realizes that Jim awakened Aurora Gus does not condone Jim's actions but understands, and tells Aurora that a "drowning man" (meaning the suicidal Jim) will grab onto any lifeline. If left unrepaired, the ship will inevitably fail, causing the passengers and crew to perish. They discover multiple cascading failures throughout the ship's systems, but the computer does not reveal the cause.

Using Gus' personnel code, the group accesses the ship's bridge (which Jim unsuccessfully tried to breach). Sometime later, another pod failure awakens Gus Mancuso, a deck chief officer. She furiously rejects his apologies and avoids contact with him. A distraught and enraged Aurora berates, shuns, and even physically attacks Jim. Just before Jim intends to propose to Aurora, Arthur inadvertently reveals the truth about her awakening, after Aurora tells him that she and Jim do not keep secrets from one another. Over the next year, the two fall in love. Resigned to the situation, Aurora, a writer and journalist, begins writing about her experience. Devastated at having to live out her life on the ship, Aurora unsuccessfully tries to re-enter hibernation. He tells Arthur to conceal what he has done. He eventually awakens her, letting her believe it was also a malfunction. He considers reviving her for companionship, but struggles doing so, knowing it is morally wrong and will circumvent her intended life on their destination planet. He views her video profile and is smitten.

After only 30 years, an asteroid collision damages the ship despite its defense systems, causing a malfunction that awakens passenger James "Jim" Preston, a mechanical engineer, 90 years too early.Īfter a year of isolation, with only an android barman named Arthur for company, Jim grows despondent and contemplates suicide until he notices Aurora Lane, a beautiful young woman inside a pod. The Avalon, a sleeper ship transporting 5,000 colonists and 258 crew members in hibernation pods, is traveling from Earth to the planet Homestead II, a 120-year journey as part of a mass exodus of Earth's population due to ecocide and the collapse of the biosphere. It grossed $304 million worldwide and was nominated for Best Original Score and Best Production Design at the 89th Academy Awards. It received mixed reviews, with praise for Lawrence and Pratt's performances, Newman's musical score, and its visual style and production values, but was criticized for its plot and characters. Passengers premiered at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles on December 14, 2016, and was released theatrically in the United States by Columbia Pictures on December 21, 2016. It was produced by Village Roadshow Pictures, Start Motion Pictures, Original Film, LStar Capital, Wanda Pictures and Company Films, and was the last film from Columbia Pictures with the involvement of Village Roadshow Pictures. Lawrence, Pratt and Tyldum quickly joined the project, and filming took place from September 2015 to February 2016 in Atlanta.

The script was written in 2007 by Spaihts, but languished in development hell with multiple actors attached and detached from it over the years until Sony Pictures Entertainment acquired its rights in late 2014. The film follows two passengers on an immense interstellar spacecraft carrying thousands of people to a colony 60 light years from Earth, when the two are awakened 90 years early from their induced hibernation. The supporting cast features Michael Sheen, Laurence Fishburne and Andy García. Passengers is a 2016 American science-fiction romance film directed by Morten Tyldum, written by Jon Spaihts and starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt.
