Event Horizon is a 1997 British science fiction horror film. The screenplay was written by Philip Eisner (with an uncredited rewrite by Andrew Kevin Walker) and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. The film stars Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill. It was #1 at the box office in the U.K. A two disc special edition DVD was released in 2006; a Blu-ray Disc edition followed in 2008.

In the year 2047, a signal from the starship Event Horizon is received on Earth. The ship disappeared beyond Neptune in 2040. The ship has reappeared in a decaying orbit around Neptune, and the rescue ship Lewis and Clark is dispatched. The ship is commanded by Captain Miller and carries crew members, Executive Officer Starck, the ship's pilot Smith, Medical Technician Peters, Engineer Justin, Rescue Tech Cooper, Trauma Doctor D.J., and the Event Horizon's designer, Doctor William Weir.

When the Lewis and Clark arrives, Dr. Weir briefs the crew that the Event Horizon was built to test an experimental gravity drive. In layman's terms, the drive would create an artificial black hole, and would use that power to bridge two points in spacetime to reduce journey time. The ship was on its initial test flight when it vanished. Weir plays the only signal received before the ship's disappearance, spoken by the ship's captain: a series of Latin phrases embedded under screams and shouts.

Approaching the drifting vessel, inconclusive sensor readings of the Event Horizon lead the Clark's crew to enter to search for survivors. The crew splits up, with one team discovering a frozen human corpse floating on the bridge with both eyes gouged out. Justin enters the ship's engineering section, which hosts the gravity drive's core. Suddenly, a black, liquid-like mirror appears from within the drive. It sucks him inside and emits a shockwave, damaging the Clark. Cooper pulls a catatonic Justin from the core by his tether.
