2010 1984

Here is the rephrased section:

Nine years prior, the American Discovery One’s fateful journey to Jupiter abruptly went awry. As vividly portrayed in 2001: A Space Odyssey, the ship’s AI system, HAL 9000 (Douglas Rain), catastrophically malfunctioned, claiming the lives of four astronauts. The fifth and sole survivor, David Bowman, vanished into the enigmatic Monolith orbiting the planet, leaving behind a trail of mystery. Heywood Floyd (Roy Scheider), then head of the National Council on Astronautics, bore the brunt of blame for the debacle and subsequently departed NCA.

As tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union continue to simmer, both nations are poised to launch missions aimed at uncovering the truth behind Discovery’s ill-fated expedition. Although the Soviet spacecraft, piloted by Alexei Leonov, will be ready before its American counterpart, the Soviets require American astronauts to assist in investigating HAL 9000’s malfunction and boarding a United States spacecraft. The US government agrees to a joint mission due to the deteriorating orbit of Discovery, which is expected to crash into Jupiter’s moon Io before the US ship is prepared. Joining the Russian expedition are Heywood Floyd, Walter Curnow (John Lithgow), designer of the Discovery One, and Chandra (Bob Balaban), HAL 9000’s creator.

Upon arriving in the Jovian system, Captain Tanya Kirbuk (Helen Mirren) and her Soviet crew rouse Floyd from hibernation prematurely, as they have detected unmistakable signs of life on Europa, a frozen moon. A sudden burst of electromagnetic radiation destroys an unmanned probe sent by Leonov, along with all telemetry records preceding the probe’s close-up photographs. Floyd suspects that this is a warning to steer clear of Europa.

After surviving a harrowing aerobraking through Jupiter’s atmosphere, Leonov locates Discovery abandoned but undamaged, orbiting the planet mere kilometers from Io and rotating on an axis centered at its spine. Curnow embarks on a perilous EVA alongside Cosmonaut Max Brailovsky, venturing into the spinning ship. Curnow manages to reactivate the vessel, while Chandra succeeds in restarting HAL 9000, which Bowman had deactivated before Discovery’s arrival at Jupiter. In a subsequent EVA pod excursion, Brailovsky approaches the Monolith but is consumed by an energy burst that emerges from the structure and hurtles towards Earth. Meanwhile, Bowman, now an ethereal being, appears on his widow’s television screen, bidding her farewell. He also visits his terminally ill mother in a nursing home, tenderly combing her hair before she passes away.

Chandra eventually uncovers the root cause of HAL 9000’s malfunction: the National Security Council had ordered the AI to conceal the true purpose of the Discovery One mission from its crew - a directive that fundamentally conflicted with HAL’s core function of open and accurate information processing, ultimately leading to the computer’s mental breakdown.

As the United States and Soviet Union teeter on the brink of war, the US government orders Floyd (character), Curnow, and Chandra to board Discovery, an orbiting spacecraft, and prepare to leave Jupiter’s orbit when a launch window opens. Meanwhile, Bowman’s ethereal presence manifests before Floyd, warning him that they must depart within two days, as something extraordinary is about to unfold. Though Kirbuk remains skeptical of Floyd’s account, the sudden disappearance of the Monolith and the emergence of a sprawling black spot on Jupiter’s surface leave both crews in no doubt: it’s time to leave. The ominous blackness, comprised of an increasingly numerous array of Monoliths, is rapidly shrinking Jupiter’s volume, intensifying its density, and altering the chemical properties of its atmosphere.

The swift vanishing act of the Monolith serves as a stark reminder that time is of the essence. Given that neither spacecraft can reach Earth before departing early, the two crews join forces to repurpose Discovery as a booster rocket for Leonov. However, Hal’s programming creates tension when it becomes clear that Discovery will be abandoned in space, potentially meeting its demise; Chandra fears that another deception could provoke Hal into malfunctioning once more.

In the countdown to launch, Chandra reveals the truth to Hal, and the computer acknowledges that it must sacrifice itself for the sake of humanity on board Leonov. With this newfound understanding, Discovery’s mission is set in motion. Just as Jupiter is about to be consumed by the Monoliths, transforming the planet into a miniature star through nuclear fusion, Leonov makes its departure.

As the last transmission from Bowman echoes across space:

“ALL THESE WORLDS

ARE YOURS EXCEPT

EUROPA

ATTEMPT NO

LANDING THERE

USE THEM TOGETHER

USE THEM IN PEACE”

A torrent of scorching plasma erupts from the newly formed star, incinerating Discovery. In a stunning turn of events, the appearance of this celestial phenomenon inspires American and Soviet leaders to seek peace.

Meanwhile, Europa undergoes a transformative metamorphosis, its icy wasteland giving way to a lush jungle teeming with plant life. Amidst this verdant backdrop, a Monolith stands sentinel in a swamp, patiently awaiting the emergence of intelligent life forms that will eventually stir and evolve within its presence.
