Before winning the Oscar for directing Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle gave us Sunshine, a riveting, futuristic sci-fi thriller about a crew of scientists’ desperate plight to rejuvenate the sun.  Anything can and does go wrong during the mission, forcing the crew into some of the toughest life-and-death decision making they’ve ever faced.  With humankind’s existence hanging in the balance, the stakes couldn’t be higher.  Boyle ratchets up the tension brilliantly.
