"Capricorn One"

This truly preposterous film is one of those that is very enjoyable once you acept the ridiculous premise. Three Mars bound astronauts are pulled out of the ship during the last minute countdown and secretly flown to an abandodned base and blackmailed to fake the Mars trip, landing, and return for the press and TV audience. Hal Holbrook plays the NASA Director who concocts the stunt. The men do this because they fear (with good reason) for the welfare of their families. One of the astronauts is O.J. Simpson, and he is given about four words to say during the entire film. Elliott Gould plays an investigative reporter on to something. Karen Black flits in and out as his girlfriend, The action scenes are very well done and the sound is terrific, given the film's vintage.
