Casey soon learns that she’s not the only person who knows about Tomorrowland however, as disillusioned former boy genius, Frank Walker (Clooney) is also linked to this place beyond space and time. But what is Tomorrowland, how does it connect to our own world, and what secrets does it hold for Casey, Frank and the rest of humanity? With Tomorrowland’s inspirations including Spielberg classic, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, this promises to be a stunningly realised, uplifting story that’ll enchant and thrill in equal measure when it hits screens on 22 May.
