Warner Bros. has dropped the first trailer for Gravity, a sci-fi drama from acclaimed director Alfonso Cuaron (Children of Men) starring Academy Award winners Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts drifting aimlessly through space after a routine spacewalk goes terribly wrong.

The synopsis reads:

Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney), in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes.

The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone–tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue.

As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

Peep it:
