Capricorn One

Capricorn One, Charles Brubaker is the astronaut leading NASA’s first manned mission to Mars. Seconds before the launch, the entire team is pulled from the capsule and the rocket leaves earth unmanned much to Brubaker’s anger. The head of the programme explains that the life support system was faulty and that NASA can’t afford the publicity of a scratched mission. The plan is to fake the Mars landing and keep the astronauts at a remote base until the mission is over, but then investigative journalist Robert Caulfield starts to suspect something.

Cult Masterpiece!
The launch is ready at Cape Canaveral, to send three men to Mars, when something goes wrong. The story unfolds with astronaut Brubaker and co. forced to simulate the first man mission to Mars in an abandoned base in the desert, to keep the space program funded by the government, in a game of deception between life and death. I cannot stress enough how well made this film is. I love every bit of it. It contains all the elements for a great film. Action, intrigue, drama, adventure, science fiction, thriller, comedy, altogether. Every scene, every line, are memorable. The excellent soundtrack is in perfect harmony with the images. The well crafted dialogues, follow the story unfolding, with interesting characters, in a realistic scenario and great rhythm. The relationship between the characters and the plot are captivating. The punch-lines are hilarious. Not to mention the dangerous stunts, very effective. All in all a masterpiece of cinematography IMHO.

One of the most underrated movies
This is by far one of the most underrated movies of all time. I can't help to think that due to its thematic, this film has been stepped over. I remember seeing this film for the first time about 20 years ago, and it raised many questions regarding the moon landing of 1969. In fact I believe it was rather gutsy for the filmmakers to give away such a taboo theme on the big screen, only some 8 years after the supposed moon landing of 1969.
I am sure that a movie such as this one made in 1977, could not pass to the public of 2015. I believe that the public 40 years ago was more jaded to deception, and far less gullible to the matters of the government cover ups.
Who knows, maybe it's all because of O.J. Sipmson.
