'Vanilla Sky' is a 2001 American psychological thriller film directed, co-produced, and co-written by Cameron Crowe. The film is an English language remake of the 1997 Spanish movie Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes), the screenplay for which was written by Alejandro Amenábar and Mateo Gil. The film stars Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruz (in a repeat of her performance in Abre los ojos) and Cameron Diaz, with Jason Lee and Kurt Russell.

Vanilla Sky has been described as "an odd mixture of science fiction, romance, and reality warp," "part Beautiful People fantasy, part New Age investigation of the Great Beyond," a "love story and a struggle for the soul," and an "erotic adventure, romance, mystery, and psychological thriller, with a dose of science fiction."
