Danny Boyle

Tension and home play a key part in the work of director Danny Boyle. From Trainspotting, Shallow Grave and 28 Days Later to his latest, Sunshine.

Set 50 years into the future, Sunshine follows a team of astronauts who are sent to re-ignite the sun and save the world from an interminable ice age. Their mission goes smoothly until they pick up a distress signal from a previous mission that was thought to have been lost years ago.
