After the mysterious failure of the Discovery One mission to Jupiter in 2001, which resulted in the deaths of four astronauts and the disappearance of David Bowman, the fiasco was blamed on Dr. Heywood Floyd, who resigned his position as head of the National Council for Astronautics. While an international dispute causes tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, both nations prepare space missions to determine what happened to the Discovery. Although the Soviet ship, the Leonov, will be ready before the American spacecraft Discovery Two, the Soviets need American astronauts to help board the Discovery and investigate the malfunction of the ship's sentient computer, HAL 9000, which caused the disaster. The US government agrees to a joint mission when it is determined that Discovery will crash into Jupiter's moon Io before Discovery Two is ready. Floyd, along with Discovery designer Walter Curnow and HAL 9000's creator Dr. Chandra, joins the Soviet mission.

Yuichiro Miura, un skieur japonais, a rêvé de littéralement skier sur le mont Everest. Il prévoyait de skier quelque 8 000 pieds sur un glacier glacé à un angle de 40 à 45 degrés, à partir du niveau de 26 000 pieds près du sommet. Le documentaire relate cet exploit incroyable et l'énorme tâche de gravir l'Everest lui-même. Le narrateur lit le journal que le skieur a tenu personnellement. Le film a été produit par le cinéaste canadien Budge Crawley avec les images réalisées pour le documentaire japonais original de 1970 (Eberesuto dai kakko). Crawley a remporté l'Oscar du meilleur long métrage documentaire pour cette photo.

Miles Monroe (Woody Allen), a jazz musician and owner of the "Happy Carrot" health-food store in 1973, is subjected to cryopreservation without his consent, and not revived for 200 years. The scientists who revive him are members of a rebellion: 22nd-century America seems to be a police state, ruled by a dictator about to implement a secret plan known as the "Aries Project". The rebels hope to use Miles as a spy to infiltrate the Aries Project, because he is the only member of this society without a known biometric identity.
