Storyline
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. Written by Col Needham <col@imdb.com>

Trivia
Jerry Goldsmith wrote the soundtrack for Capricorn One as well as Star Trek: Insurrection. If you listen to the 'Insurrection' soundtrack at about 3:30-3:45 minutes, you will hear the distinct theme of 'Capricorn One'. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: When the sun rises behind the launch pad, it is seen to move to the left as it rises. In the northern hemisphere, the rising sun appears to move to the right. The shot is clearly a sunset played in reverse. See more »Quotes
