Zoe Saldana enlists the help of Stephen Hawking to solve a quantum riddle in order to get Simon Pegg’s cat back. This follows Paul Rudd’s epic quantum chess match with Stephen Hawking.
Acting
Hawking committing to this bit harder than anyone in Marvel.
Writing
Explains quantum entanglement via cat ransom. Nobel-worthy pedagogy.
Production
The insane bridge between 'Bill & Ted' director and actual physics.
Director
Alex Winter
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is actually a SEQUEL to 2015's 'Anyone Can Quantum' where Rudd challenged Hawking to chess. Caltech's IQIM funded both as actual outreach projects.
Alex Winter directing this after 'Bill & Ted' and before his Frank Zappa documentary is one of Hollywood's most unhinged career arcs. Hawking appeared in multiple comedy bits—he clearly enjoyed being in on the joke.
