Description

They are trapped in a spaceship with no power. Outside there is no air and no heat. Earth spins 200 miles below. Three astronauts face a desperate situation in this spellbinding science fiction cliffhanger. After completing a daring mission in space, the three-man spaceship Ironman One orbits Earth preparing for re-entry. But a retro-rocket misfires, and the crew commander Jim Pruett (Richard Crenna), scientist/astronaut Clayton Stone (James Franciscus) and pilot Buzz Lloyd (Academy Award(r) Winner Gene Hackman Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Unforgiven, 1992; and Best Actor in a Leading Role, The French Connection, 1971) are marooned in space. Back on Earth, Charles Keith (Academy Award(r) Winner Gregory Peck Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, 1968; and Best Actor in a Leading Role, To Kill a Mocking Bird, 1962), chief of the manned space program, and senior astronaut Ted Dougherty (David Janssen) plan an incredible rescue while the whole world anxiously awaits.

    it always surprises me how many people defend this movie and the fact that MST3K lampooned it…equally surprising is how different the movie feels without the silhouette at the bottom...
  • You call THAT a preview?

    Wow. NO WONDER the 3 astronauts were Marooned. That was a really crappy preview! Too bad O.J. Simpson wasn't one of the 3 astronauts. Looks like a lazy iTunes employee took the first few minutes of the movie footage, and called it a preview. Based on the lousy preview, I decided not to rent nor buy the moovee. Gotta do better than this if you want my $.
  • Meh!

    Its an alright movie even though it has Gene Hackman and Gregory Peck. The public domain name for this movie is Space Travelers. Mystery Science Theater 3000 makes this movie more interesting.

    found a new punishment for my kids...they do anything wrong and they have to sit through at least 1 hour of marooned...anything longer would be cruel and unusual punishment.
  • Waste of time

    For a $1 rental, I thought this should be good. And there was some technical accuracy in some of the details (especially considering when this was filmed). But so much of this was just such a waste of time and effort. Save the $1 towards purchasing/renting Ron Howard's "Apollo 13", and get a much better production, reflecting the real story of three astronauts marooned in space.
  • Zzzz....
