| From the intensely cool music in the opening sequence down to the believeable acting of the cast, this is a cool film. NASA realises that their mission to Mars will not work, and instead of risking a cut in government funding because of the error, fake the mission in a studio on Earth. The astronauts are unwilling to cooperate after a while, and so NASA decides to 'kill' them, announcing their re-entry capsule's destruction upon contact with Earth's atmosphere. All that's left is for the astronauts to be killed in real life, so they can never reveal the truth. In an edge-of-the-seat chase, the astronauts split up and head across the desert, with NASA helicoptors in hot pursuit. | ||
