This shows physicist Stephen Hawking's life as he deals with the ALS that renders him immobile and unable to speak without the use of a computer. Hawking's friends, family, classmates, and peers are interviewed not only about his theories but the man himself.

World War II comes to an end. Tokyo is a destroyed place, without law, driven by hunger and greed. From over 100,000 pages of declassified CIA documents and hours of newly discovered footage, recorded by American occupation charges and private individuals, the documentary shows Tokyo during this crucial year, Year Zero. Observed from the point of view of a young man who finds himself transported in time, the NHK documentary uses color images and state-of-the-art video techniques to reveal how a desperate population is published as the foundations of today's megalopolis.

In a studio setting, Stephen Hawking, Arthur C. Clarke and Carl Sagan (who joins them via satellite) discuss the Big Bang theory, God, our existence as well as the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

A team of international scientists attempt to document the first-ever image of a black hole.

Black holes stand at the limit of what we can know. To explore that edge of knowledge, the Event Horizon Telescope links observatories across the world to simulate an earth-sized instrument. With this tool the team pursues the first-ever picture of a black hole, resulting in an image seen by billions of people in April 2019. Meanwhile, Hawking and his team attack the black hole paradox at the heart of theoretical physics—Do predictive laws still function, even in these massive distortions of space and time? Weaving them together is a third strand, philosophical and exploratory using expressive animation. “Edge” is about practicing science at the highest level, a film where observation, theory, and philosophy combine to grasp these most mysterious objects.

Made in the form of a faux documentary, these are four possibilities - set within the circumstances of a single day replayed over four separate times - that civilization could be brought to an abrupt end...

Astrophysicists show how black holes might hold answers to how the universe evolved, leading to life on Earth and, ultimately, the human race.

Documentary following researchers as they try to take the first-ever picture of a black hole. They must travel the globe to build a revolutionary telescope that spans planet Earth.

The documentary film "No" (2007) presents the life of our metaphysical poet Dragivoje Sreckovic, his poetry, as well as the poet's vision of the world and the universe. The film is a conceptual narrative about the existence of five times and tries to answer the essential cosmic question: did the poet manage to escape from the black hole?

Triggered by observations in radio astronomy, scientists discovered extremely high-energy "quasi-stellar radio sources" - or quasars for short. How could this enormous amount of energy be explained, even though quasars are relatively small and far away? Einstein's general theory of relativity was a starting point with the possibility of exploding stars that collapse in a gravitational collapse and take surrounding matter and energy with them. The gravitational forces are so strong that even light can no longer escape. But how can we make the invisible measurable?

The heroic Leonidas, armed with nothing but leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag group of thirteen Spartans to defend their homeland against the invading Persians (whose ranks include Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Transformers, and a hunchbacked Paris Hilton). No one is safe when the Spartans take on the biggest icons in pop culture!
