Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson returns to The Smith Center by popular demand as he presents an entertaining and enlightening review of all the science that our favorite movies got wrong, combined with some of the stuff they got right. Incorporating the latest films, as well as some classics that you may not have known had any science in them at all, Tyson spotlights "The Matrix, "The Terminator," "Back to the Future: Part 2," "Finding Nemo," "The Davinci Code" and more, plus popular TV series including "Game of Thrones." And for the first time, a section on AI in films is added to the themes.
