Who was the director for the Sci-Fi Thriller film "Gravity"?

The 2013 science-fiction thriller “Gravity” was directed by Alfonso Cuarón. He also co-wrote the screenplay with his son Jonás Cuarón and served as a producer and editor, making the film a particularly personal directorial project.

The story follows astronauts Ryan Stone, played by Sandra Bullock, and Matt Kowalski, played by George Clooney, after a space-debris disaster destroys their shuttle and leaves them struggling to return to Earth. Cuarón built the film around isolation, survival, and the psychological pressure of being cut off from communication and rescue.

“Gravity” was notable for its visual effects and long, carefully choreographed shots that create the sensation of drifting in orbit. Much of the film was produced in the United Kingdom, with Framestore spending more than three years developing its visual effects. A common mix-up is attributing the film only to its stars, but Cuarón’s direction shaped its distinctive pacing, camera movement, and immersive style. The film won him the Academy Award for Best Director.
