2001: A Space Odyssey is a narrative, based upon Arthur C. Clarke's 1948 short story The Sentinel, originally released in 1968 as both as a novel written by Clarke and as a film directed by Stanley Kubrick. The story of 2001 revolves around the discovery of a black monolith on the Moon, and a subsequent mission to Saturn (Jupiter in the film) to trace a signal sent by the monolith. 2001 has become highly influential in the science fiction genre, and Kubrick's film has been called one of the greatest films of all time for its scientific realism, multiple thematic interpretations, surreal imagery, and overall influence on the film industry.

Futurama has made several references to both the book and the film, which will be noted here.
