Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1969 sci-fi thriller film directed by John Sturges, adapted from the novel of the same name by Martin Caidin.Three American astronauts (Gene Hackman, Richard Crenna, and James Franciscus) returning from a long space station mission suddenly face imminent death when their spacecraft malfunctions and they are stuck in orbit with a very limited oxygen supply. On the ground, Chief astronaut Ted Dougherty (David Janssen) breaks all the rules to implement a mission to rescue the seemingly doomed adventurers. Charles Keith (Gregory Peck) is the ground commander in Houston who must decide whether or not to approve the dangerous rescue mission.For the trope related to characters being marooned, see Robinsonade.For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version (shown under the title Space Travelers), please go to the episode recap page. It's the only movie ever riffed on MST3k to have won an Oscar (for Best Special Effects), and possiblynote It's complicated - you have to factor in inflation, but also the fact that movie production costs have inflated faster than the standard rate. They also riffed some Russian, Finnish and Eastern European movies that had high local budgets, but converting to a dollar amount is tricky. the highest-budgeted one.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Artistic License – History: Plenty: For one thing, the ill-fated mission is launched on a Saturn V rocket. The rocket was grossly overpowered for a Low-Earth Orbit mission. Logically, it probably would have been launched on a Saturn IB. The mission was launched on a Saturn V probably for the Rule of Awesome, as nothing could compare to a Saturn V launch. It also allowed the use of the very extensive Apollo 4 launch footage, including the very high quality images of staging from inside the booster which seemingly don't exist for the IB. For another, the Soviet spacecraft is clearly a Vostok craft. By the time this film was released, Soyuz was the USSR's manned spacecraft, though this was probably done for the sake of drama.(However Soyuz was on stand down in the wake of Soyuz 1 at the time the movie was being made so there might not have been much information to use to depict it. In contrast Vostok was well known from the early sixties and instantly familiar to the audience). At the same time, NASA put an awful lot of faith in the Soviet cosmonaut not to commit an act of espionage by taking mental notes of the Apollo spacecraft's interior, as such mental notes could easily be used by the Soviets to improve their own manned spacecraft. There was also lot of faith that the Soviets wouldn't send up a later manned mission to investigate and reverse-engineer the Apollo spacecraft (a la Buran).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
