Description:
Acclaimed in an international critics poll as one of the ten best films ever made, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey has nonetheless baffled critics and filmgoers alike. Its reputation rests largely on its awesome special effects, yet the plot has been considered unfathomable. True, isolated symbols have been recognized, but the critical consensus has been that 2001 cannot be explained and that Kubrick himself probably didn't know the answers.

Leonard Wheat's Kubrick's 2001: A Triple Allegory reveals that Kubrick did know the answers. Far from being what it seems to be -- a chilling story about space travel -- 2001 is actually an allegory, a surface story that metaphorically tells a deeper story, hidden by symbols. But 2001 is far more than an allegory. It is a triple allegory, something unprecedented in film or literature.
