Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (Clooney).  But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes.  The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone-tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness.

The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue.  As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left.  

But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

"Gravity" was written by Alfonso Cuarón & Jonás Cuarón, and produced by Alfonso Cuarón and David Heyman (the "Harry Potter" films).  Chris deFaria, Nikki Penny and Stephen Jones served as executive producers.

"Gravity" will open in UAE cinemas on October 17^th, 2013 in IMAX® 3D, 3D & 2D.

The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures & in the GCC by
