Sphere (1998) 🎬 Blu-ray review | Sharon Stone Dustin Hoffman Samuel L Jackson

Sphere is a 1998 American science fiction psychological thriller film directed and produced by Barry Levinson, adapted from Michael Crichton’s 1987 novel of the same name. The story unfolds aboard a deep-sea habitat in the Pacific Ocean, where a group of experts including a psychologist, a marine biologist, a mathematician, and an astrophysicist are assembled to investigate a massive spacecraft discovered nearly 300 years underwater. Their mission takes a surreal turn when they encounter a mysterious sphere capable of manifesting their subconscious fears and desires. Released in the United States on February 13, 1998, the film received generally negative reviews and underperformed at the box office despite a high-profile cast featuring Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, and Samuel L. Jackson. It remains a striking exploration of the human psyche under extreme conditions.
