The Beyond is a 2018 science fiction movie set near Earth in 2019. Gillian Laroux leads a space agency after a strange wormhole called the Void appears in orbit. Scientists build Human 2.0 bodies by placing human brains inside strong robot bodies. They send Jessica Johnson through the Void to learn what lies beyond it. The film uses news reports and interviews to tell a slow story about fear, discovery, sacrifice, and human limits.
Several women hold major science and command roles, including Gillian, Jessica, and engineer Alice Lamont. The film treats their jobs as normal parts of the space mission. The main conflict concerns secret military research and the risk of changing the human body. Its central question asks whether a person stays human after the mind enters a machine body. The story also explores first contact, family lies, and the cost of survival.
