Sunshine (2007)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Capa is the only man in the spacesuit and two other crew members have to jump with him through space, the two other crew members would not survive. The difference in pressure between space (0kg/cm^2)) and Earth (1kg/cm^2) would surely cause the astronauts' bodies to leak or explode. Therefore Harvey would not even have time to become frozen: he would sooner begin to leak and be torn apart by the pressure inside of him. The same goes for the other guy (the one who makes it without the suit).

Correction: Yet another one who's fallen for the whole "humans explode in space" myth. Sorry to break it to you, but it's completely untrue; the human skin is way tougher than that. NASA estimates that a human being could survive without protection in space for at least thirty seconds without serious long-term effects. What we see in the film is entirely plausible.
