2010: The Year We Make Contact is the follow up sequel to the monumental hit that was 2001: A Space Odyssey and filmed in 1984, as is obvious, given the Cold War tensions that litter the film.
Plot: Hal went a touch loco in the first film, so the man that ok'd the original mission-Roy Scheider (Jaws, SeaQuest DSV) decides to pop up and have a butchers at what went wrong. There also happens to be another one of them large black door thingys orbiting IO (Jupiter Moon) and the Ruskies are headed for a peek. Turns out, despite the tensions on Earth, both the U.S.S.R. (that was) and the USA are a little reluctant to go without someone who knows a bit about the door and the nutso computer, so the Yanks hitch a ride with the Ruskies and they all have a picnic...or something.
Decent special effects (CGI in it's first forays), Helen Mirren makes an appearance as the Russian leader and Jon Lithgow (3rd Rock from the Sun, Harry and the Hendersons) has a space fit.
Budget: $28,000,000
Gross: $40,400,657
Fun Fact: Candice Bergen (Gandhi) is the voice of the second computer-SAL 9000.
