It’s time to enter the biosphere, baby! From the city of lost children to the island of lost souls, this Showdown is a primer on films that feature science and scientists as integral to the story: the university professors, chemistry teachers, lab-techs and astro-scientists working to cure ills, contain outbreaks, bend minds… or meddle with mortality. From beyond your altered states, think of your ten favorite films that splice science into the frame. Whether they use a dangerous method or an imitation game, hollow men or hidden figures, this is a radioactive situation. Strap them to the slab, while the band plays on.
