Gattaca
Vincent Freeman tries to reach his ambition by traveling to the stars. Freeman may not be able to do this because society has classified him as inappropriate in his genetic makeup and is one of the lower class of human beings and can only perform inferior functions. In an attempt by Freeman, he assumed the identity of Jerome Morrow, an ideal genetic sample infected with paralysis as a result of a car accident, and learned that there was a trick of testing DNA and urine which would help him to do what he wanted. After a while, he set his date on a space mission, but killed the program manager and began investigations that might change the course of things.
