A research spaceship investigates a seemingly stranded vessel floating dangerously close to a black hole in this 1979 Disney sci-fi. Stars Oscar winner Maximilian Schell (Judgement at Nuremberg) alongside fellow nominees Anthony Perkins (Psycho) and Robert Forster (Jackie Brown).
The explorer craft USS Palomino is returning to Earth after a fruitless 18-month search for extra-terrestrial life when the crew comes upon a supposedly lost ship, the USS Cygnus, hovering near a black hole. The ship is controlled by Dr. Hans Reinhardt (Schell) and his monstrous robot companion, but the initial wonderment and awe the Palomino crew feel for the ship and its resistance to the power of the black hole turn to horror as they uncover Reinhardt's plans.
The film was nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects at the 1980 Academy Awards.
