2001: A Space Odyssey spans from the dawn of man to its title year.

Stone Age Earth: in the presence of a mysterious black obelisk pre-humans discover the use of tools - and weapons - violently taking first steps toward intelligence.

1999: On Earth's moon astronauts uncover another mysterious black obelisk.

2001: Between Earth and Jupiter, the spacecraft's intelligent computer makes a mistake that kills most of the human crew - then continues to kill to hide its error.

Beyond Time: The sole survivor of the journey to Jupiter ascends to the next level of humanity.
