Slingshot - DVD

Scientists in a deep-sea research facility stumble upon a mysterious extraterrestrial craft lurking in the ocean depths. When they retrieve a strange object from the alien probe, they unknowingly unleash a deadly force, turning their underwater lab into a battleground for survival.

For astronaut John (Casey Affleck), the multiyear mission he accepted to Saturn's moon of Titan involved the use of Jupiter's gravity for it's final boost-a move that would be dicey for him to navigate under optimum circumstances. However-to his further peril, and that of his crewmates (Laurence Fishburne, Tomer Capone)-the chemicals that facilitated his hibernation are causing him to have horrific delusions. Shattering sci-fi suspenser also stars Emily Beecham, David Morrissey. 109 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Based on the autobiographical novel by Roland Schutt, THE SLINGSHOT is an endearing coming-of-age drama. Set in 1920s Stockholm, a 12-year-old boy endures the hardships of an unhappy family life by shutting himself away with his inventions . . . one of which is a super slingshot.
