Pitch Black (2000) is a science fiction horror film directed by David Twohy. The film stars Vin Diesel, Radha Mitchell, Cole Hauser, and Keith David, and is known for its intense atmosphere and innovative blend of genres.

The story centers on a spaceship that crashes on a remote, desert-like planet. The survivors of the crash include Riddick (Vin Diesel), a dangerous fugitive with surgically enhanced eyes that allow him to see in the dark, as well as a diverse group of passengers and crew members led by pilot Carolyn Fry (Radha Mitchell). As they attempt to repair their damaged ship and find a way off the planet, they discover that the planet is home to deadly, nocturnal creatures that come out during the darkness.

As night falls, the survivors realize that the planet’s three suns have just gone out, plunging the world into darkness for an extended period. With the creatures becoming increasingly aggressive and the group struggling to fend them off, tensions rise as Riddick’s true nature and motives come into question.

The survivors must work together to survive the night and find a way to escape before they are all killed.

Pitch Black is notable for its suspenseful narrative, atmospheric tension, and Vin Diesel’s breakout performance as Riddick.

The film combines elements of sci-fi and horror, with its claustrophobic setting and relentless creature attacks creating a gripping and intense experience. Pitch Black was well-received for its originality and has become a cult favorite, leading to a sequel, The Chronicles of Riddick (2004), and further expanding the Riddick universe.
