Monolith (1987): Cast

John Hurt’s narration leads this 1987 AIDS awareness film. It shows a cliff face exploding in slow motion, an industrial drill boring into a massive rock, the word “AIDS” carved into a polished granite headstone, and a “Don’t Die of Ignorance” leaflet dropping beside white lilies. The voice‑over’s gravity leaves no doubt about the urgent message.
