Gravity is a 2013 3D science fiction thriller, and space drama film directed, co-written, co-produced and co-edited by Alfonso Cuaron. The film stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts who survive the mid-orbit destruction of a Space Shuttle and attempt to return to Earth.

The film Gravity is a possibility.
This plot point is plucked from real life: In 2007, China obliterated its own satellite into thousands of chunks of junk just to prove to the world that it could. That doubled the risk to astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
Today, however, space faring nations now realize that the threat of space junk and are a little more considerate. Modern satellites are designed to either fall into the Earth’s orbit and burn up at the end of their useful lives, or push themselves out to a distant, safe parking orbit. And China, which is launching its own manned space effort and hopes to send astronauts to the moon, is probably going to be a bit more contentious about orbital safety now that it is sending up its own people.

Space travel messes with our notion of risk assessment, which is already suspect: Most obviously, even though people are far more likely to die in a car accident, we’re far more likely to be afraid of flying, since flying feels more unnatural and fails more spectacularly. Space takes both of those to the extreme. Drifting weightless around the planet in an incredibly hostile environment makes flying like a bird appear ordinary. And losing people in space, as we saw with the two space shuttle accidents, marks a national tragedy.

That doesn’t help us in the short term, though. A great many of the small pieces of debris will burn up in the atmosphere in the next couple of decades, improving the situation in orbit. But before then, the rise of the private space industry will carry more humans into orbit than ever before, first with the wealthy buying tickets on short suborbital hops for a quick taste of weightlessness and eventually with more of us launching to some kind of tourist destination high above the Earth. The suborbital hops produce no new space junk, but the increased use in space adds to the risk of what is called “a conjunction” in space. NASA does a great job of tracking debris larger than about the size of a fist. But they can’t track everything. And more traffic in orbit, it is argued, means that some kind of orbital disaster is inevitable.

I highly recommend this film as it is epic.
My understanding of the film itself is:
Dr Ryan Stone is a Mission Specialist on her first space shuttle mission aboard the Space Shuttle Explorer. She is accompanied by veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski, who is commanding his final expedition. During a spacewalk to service the Hubble Space Telescope, Mission Control in Houston warns the team about a Russian missile strike on a defunct satellite, which has caused a chain reaction forming a cloud of space debris. Mission control orders that the mission be aborted. Shortly after, communications with Mission Control are lost, though the astronauts continue to transmit, hoping that the ground crew can still hear them.
High-speed debris strikes the Explorer and detaches Stone from the shuttle, leaving her tumbling through space. Kowalski soon recovers Stone and they make their way back to the space shuttle. They discover that the shuttle has been damaged far beyond usability and the rest of the crew is dead. They use the thruster pack to make their way to the International Space Station (ISS), which is in orbit only about 100 km (60 miles) away. Kowalski estimates they have 90 minutes before the debris field completes an orbit and threatens them again.

Again, I highly recommend this film as it is epic, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
