Andrew Niccol. It stars Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Alan Arkin, and Jude Law. Hawke plays Vincent, a man who dares to defy a system obsessed with genetic perfection. Vincent drives a 1963 Studebaker Avanti portrayed as a car of the future. Is Vincent charging the Gattaca Avanti through the front bumper port? Director Andrew Niccol had the black rubber insert hinged at the bottom to provide Vincent with access to an imagined power input!
