I loved this film for it's brave portrait of a character who made a morally ambiguous choice. The filmmakers allowed the story to unfold and give the audience credit for being able to come to their won conclusions about what they think of what Kurt Gerron did. It is the first time I have seen a film set against the holocaust that went beyond the horror stories we are already familiar with and examines a victim of nazi atrocities who in a strange way became a part of the propaganda machine. I think everyone should see this beautifully made film!

未来的世界，人类已能轻松穿梭于星际之间，在太空中展开商业活动。“诺斯特罗莫”是在太空活动的众多星际商业运输船之一。一次，它完成任务满载太空矿石返航地球时，突然收到了一组奇怪的信号，由于这可能是求救信号，飞船接到指令前往信号源地进行搜救。经过一段飞行后，飞船终于抵达信号源发出的地方。船员们发现此处果然有一艘坠毁的飞船，只是，经过一番搜索，他们发现该船的船员们都早已死亡，化为化石。此时，留在“诺斯特罗莫”号的第三指挥官蕾普莉已经破译出该信号并不是求救信号，而是警告信号！队员的生死搏斗开始了！
