| Summary |
As one of the last "natural" humans born into a genetically engineered world, Vincent Freeman has none of the "pre-ordered" DNA that will guarantee him success. Desperate to realise his dream of exploring space, Vincent assumes the identity of a genetically superior athlete in order to gain employment at the Gattaca Aerospace Corporation. But when a single cell from any part of his body could betray him, how long can the truth remain hidden when we all shed 500 million cells every day? |
