Thanks to repeated showings on cable television and home video, this speculative thriller has built quite a loyal following since its release in 1978. 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

If you haven't seen this one, it is worth your time to see. You will notice that alot of well known actors are in this one, including O'Jay Simpson. There is a remake in the works.

Capricorn One, 1978 film
The film begins with the sound of an announcement of a rocket launch. The Vice President attends. Then an emergency requires the astronauts to leave the space craft. Should we spend billions on outer space projects given the problems here on earth? [Who benefits?] Dr. Jim Calloway explains the changes made for economic reasons (and a defective product). Political needs required this. The families are hostages for their good conduct! "Thank you for bringing the ... Read More

I loved this movie when it was first released and have seen it many times since. It's great to have it on DVD.
Story has a few holes in it and I think a bit of rework on the script could have turned this into one of the great conspiracy movies of all time. Still a great flick.

I have to confess I have always liked this film, ever since I first saw it and was too young to realize some of the more obvious errors. It was a little slow, as I was used to Star Wars type speed, and a little talkative but I loved the idea. Seeing it again, on widescreen, as an adult, I appreciate it a lot more.
The positives are the story, the acting (which is actually very good, especially Hal Holbrook and Elliott Gould, and a hilarious scene stealing Telly Savalas), great direction, superb ... Read More

The concept is there, God knows enough people actually believe it, if only the acting and screen play matched the concept it would be a decent film. The two scenes that I love are when the reporter's car goes out of control and is running through the city with the camera on the hood of the car and the chase scene between the helicopters and bi-plane. Other than that, nothing special.
