The provocative "what if?" scenario still packs a punch, even if it is not always believable. James Brolin, Sam Waterston, and O.J. Simpson star as three astronauts who agree to spare the government embarrassment by faking their historic landing on Mars after their spacecraft is determined to be unsafe for blastoff. When a scheming mission controller (Hal Holbrook) plots to kill the astronauts in a staged capsule fire, the trio embarks on a dangerous mission to expose the truth. Elliott Gould costars as the journalist determined to crack the conspiracy, and director Peter Hyams turns up the tension with an exciting chase sequence involving Telly Savalas as an eccentric barnstormer who comes to Gould's aid. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Finally !!!I finally have this one.... Can't wait for "The Gargoyles (1972 Cornel Wilde) or Dracula, Prince of Darkness"..That would complete me ! ! ! Rating: - The worst hoax ever in this movie...... was made by the director who refused to listen to his characters who insisted that transmission signals are taking 21 minutes from Mars to Earth, but keep them talking to each other as if the point was not of any importance. I should have put only 2 stars, if it was not for the fact that anything dealing with paranoia ( which is the foundation of politics, especially in US) has my attention. Even if Andy Groove who was accused by his interviewer (about 10 years ago) of being paranoid, replied ... Read More Rating:  - Not badThis movie is OK. It stretches the bounds of plausability of course. If you subscribe to Netflix with on online viewing option, you can watch this for free.

Rating: - All Star Cast 70's Conspiracy ThrillerI remember watching this on tv some time back and have finally managed to get it on dvd. The plot involves the proposed first manned landing on mars...however before the rocket is even launched the Nasa realises that the mission is doomed. In order to ensure that the 'space programme' funding is secure they convince the astronauts (played by James Brolin, Sam Waterson and yes...O.J Simpson) to participate in an elaborate hoax. So far so good...all goes to plan until months later on return ... Read More Rating: - Conspiracy nutters need not replyCapricorn One This is one my favorites. When it came out the Apollo missions were the state of the art space craft. So that's why these astronauts look so crammed together for the (impossibly long) mission to Mars. If they did a remake today, they would no doubt use something more like a shuttle with some room to exercise in! That quibble aside, the premise behind Capricorn One's plot is believable: how an agenda-based government space program, struggling on a shrinking budget, tries to buffalo ...
