Pandorum is a 2009 German-British science fiction thriller film written by Travis Milloy, directed by Christian Alvart and produced by Paul W.S. Anderson. The film stars Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster. Filming began in Berlin in August 2008. Pandorum was released on September 25, 2009 in the United States, and on October 2, 2009 in the UK. The film's title refers to a fictional psychological condition of astronauts who fly through deep space. Corporal Bower wakes up from hypersleep by a power surge to find himself alone, with no memory of who he is or what happened to the crew of the... 60,000-passenger sleeper ship Elysium. Another power surge manages to awaken Lieutenant Payton who is also suffering from amnesia. They are unable either to access the ship's bridge or to communicate with anyone else, including the three-man flight crew team that they are supposed to relieve. With the ship wracked by power surges from a failing reactor, Bower assumes that he must be a technician automatically awakened by the principal on-board computer in order to effect repairs. Bower begins exploring the spacecraft under Payton's radio guidance.
