What would you do if you became stranded in a spaceship that still needed to travel for many years to reach your destination? In the movie Passengers, Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) and Aurora Lane (Jennifer Lawrence) are traveling through space to a colony planet. However, their sleep chambers malfunction. As a result, Jim and Aurora awaken 90 years earlier than when they’re supposed to reach their destination. You can watch this film and discover the reason why they wake up before the spaceship gets to where they’re headed. The cast also includes Michael Sheen, Laurence Fishburne, Andy Garcia, and Vince Foster. Passengers is directed by Morten Tyldum and written by Jon Spaihts.
