This is not a great film, but a watchable one. When a satellite launched from a space shuttle collides with a UFO, exploding and killing an astronaut, his fellow astronauts are given the blame, by a White House staffer (Robert Vaughn) trying to get his president re-elected while covering up the discovery of a flying spacecraft (not a “saucer” as it is not saucer shaped. Vaughn is silkily evil as usual, but the plot starts to unravel as the two astronauts begin to try and understand why they are being framed.<\/p>\n
The film quality is grainy, as was not unusual in films of the seventies and early eighties, and some plot points are a bit absurd, but if you like cover up plots this one works right along with the similar “Capricorn One.” Makes you wonder what else they might be hiding.<\/p>\n
