Answer 1

It's about some futuristic world and this guy takes another guy's place to fulfill his dreams of doing something else. . .blah blah blah, it was really boring

Answer 2

In the world of "Gattaca," humans have taken the idea of perfection one step too far. Science now uses genetic engineering to manufacture human beings by factoring out disease and defects right after conception. However, some people still choose to have children the old-fashioned way, despite the fact that such children are known as "in-valids" and generally enjoy a life of discrimination and janitorial work.

Vincent (Ethan Hawke) is just such a person, but he has a dream of flying a rocket into space, an ambition he pursues by buying somebody else's identity from a DNA broker (Tony Shalhoub). The unlucky donor is Jerome Eugene Morrow (Jude Law), a perfect specimen who succumbed to a tragic accident that left him paralyzed. The maintenance of Vincent's secret is no easy task, especially when his supervisor is murdered, the cops find one of Vincent's eyelashes and he becomes involved with a beautiful co-worker (Uma Thurman).

Besides being extremely slow, this film plays so heavily on people's fear of a science they don't understand, it's almost laughable. No matter how much we apply genetics to social engineering, the culture of "Gattaca" will never emerge -- it's simply impossible. But Niccol wants us to believe it's dangerous to even investigate the possibilities and that's just c**p. Imagine the advances in humanity that could take place with genetic engineering. Driving back from the theater, I realized that they could start by removing the gene that compelled the moron in the Geo in front of me to drive 40 mph in the left lane. Altering that guy and every idiot like him would clearly be the first step to a better world.

Answer 3

The movie is based on the idea that in the future, we understand genetics so well that you can "design" your baby before it is born - as in, to give it perfect health, intelligence, etc.

However, some parents decided not to "design" their babies, and to leave it up to nature instead. These natural babies were considered inferior, because they'd still have genetic weaknesses, and were denied lots of opportunities in favour of the "perfect" designed babies.

The main character Vincent, played by Ethan Hawke, was a natural baby. But he dreams of being an astronaut, which is only allowed for designed people. So he makes a deal with a designed guy to take his place - so that people think he's perfect and designed, and he'll be sent into space like he has always dreamed.

Uma Thurman plays his love interest, but her role isn't that important.

Long story short, after almost getting caught many times, Vincent gets to go into space like he's always dreamed.
