Our take on Gravity

Alfonso Cuarón's 2013 survival thriller strands an astronaut adrift after debris destroys her shuttle, in a relentless fight to get back to Earth. Visually groundbreaking and almost unbearably tense, it turns the silence of space into pure suspense. If its immersive terror and resilience gripped you, seek out survival thrillers and space dramas where one person battles the void with nothing but nerve.
