20 Minutes into the Future: The date of the setting is not specified, but apart from the development of interstellar travel and highly advanced holographic user interfaces, the civilization does not seem to have changed that much: the clothing has not changed, the bars still have the same look (but the bartender is an android), the Pulitzer Prize is still awarded, etc.

In the depths of his despair, Jim stumbles across a woman in her pod, Aurora Lane (Lawrence), and becomes smitten with her to the extent of contemplating an unthinkable decision: whether or not to consciously awaken Aurora from her pod to share his fate. The prospect of what will become of the remaining 90 years between him and his destination is a crippling one for him to come to terms with, and loneliness sets in hard shortly after. Due to a ship malfunction, one of the passengers aboard - engineer Jim Preston (Pratt) - is accidentally awoken 30 years into the trip, and try as he might, he is unable to re-hibernate himself. The Avalon is a Sleeper Starship on a 120-year trip from Earth to Homestead II, a colonized planet in distant outer space.

Passengers is a 2016 Science Fiction romance film directed by Morten Tyldum ( Headhunters, The Imitation Game), written by Jon Spaihts ( Doctor Strange), and starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, with Michael Sheen and Laurence Fishburne in supporting roles.
