Capricorn One (1978) – Imprint Collection #355

An audience favourite, Capricorn One was the most successful independent film of 1978, presenting the story of a manned mission to Mars which was faked, and the crew who realise their survival will expose the hoax.

Starring Elliott Gould, James Brolin, Brenda Vaccaro, O.J. Simpson and Karen Black, this action-thriller was written and directed by Peter Hyams (2010: The Year We Make Contact), with a score by Jerry Goldsmith.

The whole world is watching the first manned flight to Mars, whilst its three astronauts are plunged into a hair-raising battle for survival, within a clandestine operation involving intrigue and murder.
