A life is a dangerous thing to share. As one of the last "natural" beings born into a genetically engineered world, Vincent Freeman (Ethan Hawke) has none of the "pre-ordered" DNA that will guarantee him success. Desperate to realise his dream of exploring space, Vincent assumes the identity of a genetically superior athlete`s genetic makers, Vincent becomes a rising star at Gattaca Aerospace, attracting the attention of a stunning co-worker (Uma Thurman). But when a flight director is brutally murdered, a clue left at the crime scene threatens to shatter Vincent`s plans in this Special Edition of the riveting sci-fi classic. In the 21st century, genetic engineering makes possible the creation of biologically superior human specimens ("valids"), who then grow to positions of power and prestige.

But a murder in the company's ranks attracts the attention of a detective who threatens to sniff Vincent out.
