Film Synopsis
An international crew of astronauts undertakes a privately funded mission to search for life on Jupiter's fourth largest moon.
When unmanned probes suggest that a hidden ocean could exist beneath the surface of one of Jupiter’s icy moons, Europa Ventures, a privately funded space exploration company, sends six of the best astronauts from around the world to confirm the data and search for potential life. After a near-catastrophic technical failure that leads to loss of communication with Earth and the tragic death of a crewmember, the surviving astronauts must overcome the psychological and physical toll of deep space travel, and survive a discovery on Europa more profound than they had ever imagined. Using a found-footage format, Europa Report is part-faux documentary, part-sci-fi thriller.
