TOKYO -- The Academy Award-winning 2013 film "Gravity" begins with two astronauts on a spacewalk being caught in a massive storm of debris caused by a Russian missile strike on a defunct satellite.
The astronauts flee to the International Space Station in hopes of using a Russian Soyuz module to return to Earth, only to find that the sole remaining capsule is no longer usable for that purpose. In desperation, one of the two astronauts rides in the Soyuz to China's nearby Tiangong station and manages to board its Shenzhou module to reach Earth.
